Oh ok. I didn't know that. That was the first year I did a mock draft and I had Ponder going in round 5. I was pissed when the Vikings took him in round 1.
I just read that Anthony Barr is out for the season. We might end up with the #1 pick without having to trade up to get Trevor Lawrence.
He wasn't GM yet at that point but he was actually in charge of the draft that year and the two previous years I think.
His first round picks as GM:
2012: Matt Kalil, Harrison Smith
2013:Sharrif Floyd, Xavier Rhodes, Cordarrelle Patterson
2014: Anthony Barr, Teddy Bridgewater
2015: Trae Waynes
2016: Laquon Treadwell
2017: None
2018: Mike Hughes
2019: Garrett Bradbury
2020: Justin Jefferson, Jeff Gladney
At first glance, you'd probably think that's not horrible. But when you consider these are all first round picks, and the number of complete whiffs from 2013 on, I'd say it's time to blow it up.
