He knew 6 plays at Auburn. Those aren't my words...that's what came out.
He had almost zero experience in pass blocking.
He had just one dominant year run blocking.
He was du....well...not smart.
But boy, he had that athleticism. We used the #2 overall pick on athleticism and ignored everything else because we needed left tackle. We drafted him because of need...bad move. We then turned around and used sound judgement on the evaluation for drafting Aaron Donald, a guy who demonstrated over years that he was the real deal. A guy whose film showed that it directly translated to the NFL game. We drafted him based on BPA.
It is my all time most hated pick.
My dream was to trade back and get another #1 for the following season...The Bradford Insurance Policy.
When Snead focuses on proven talent, the film and BPA, he seems to make some excellent choices. When he forces it and drafts for need, he blows.
In the end, I guess something good came from that pick. It helped us get rid of a coach who was never going to lead us anywhere...Jeff Fisher.

Your last words to me: "Your a great guy RFIP. I was very sad when you left the board, and your son, but was glad to see you back. Take care my friend, may God be by your side." 09/09/2017 12:58AM
No Nelson, you were a far better man than I, and I am sure an awesome husband and father as well. I will miss you my friend. -RFIP
