Great thread.
Sedrick Ellis was one for me. Before we got Geno we'd be in desperate need of a young,inside pass rusher. I was all in trading up for him and I hated the Keith Rivers selection so high - such a Marvin pick.
In the division I was a bit worried when the Browns selected Danny Shelton and Trent Richardson - at the time I thought they were aiming to go in the direction that the Jags are now....felt they were the sort of players who may come back to haunt us every year and remember reading some of our own coaches talking that way.
There's been a terrible run on highly drafted OL in recent years but I thought Greg Robinson and Jonathan Cooper would be maulers.
Going the other way Jared Goff is surprising me a bit...in a parallel universe where his HC is still Jeff Fisher I think he may still be struggling. I felt him going to the Rams with them moving to LA , him being from California , etc was as much about selling tickets and marketing. You know just some players and situations you do not trust...shows you the power of of a great HC and scheme (mcVay)
