| The "we should have takens" I don't follow the stuff leading up to the draft closely, but every year, we take propsects people aren't familiar with and some fans respond in a burst of passion about we should have taken player X with the pick instead. Now, I am a bit curious about these Players Xs that we should have taken and whether we should have taken the Player Xs over the players we actually took. Now, I can recall Kerrigan(Cameron Jordan?) and Trent(Okung) getting that treatment for sure, but my memory is shaky on the other players, so I could use some help about this here.

| Re: The "we should have takens" They drafted the players they wanted and the players who were available that they thought would help this team, so I don't understand the point of this thread. Could'of, would'of, should'of...is pointless. Let's focus on what we have and put this thing together. |

| Re: The "we should have takens" We should have taken cousins in the third. But we were patient and got him in the 4th. Way to go skins!
