It’s crazy to think how much Chicago’s foolish jump to draft Trubisky has changed recent NFL history. They completely whiff on Mahomes (whom KC picks up) while Trubs ends up not working out and KC becomes a near dynasty. A big domino effect from that one move.

Just goes to show how hard it is to find a franchise QB. As a bills fan I was pissed they drafted Allen and wanted Rosen, but boy am I thankful for that move today.

[@fortynights1513]

@Atkascha Trubisky had also started for one year in college I believe and had never heard the term “hard count” (whatever that means).

[@bobsnow6242]

I was glad we took Allen over Rosen just based on the intangibles - Rosen certainly had more pocket presence (with the right protection of course) and accuracy than Allen, but he was an arrogant prima donna who made a name for himself in the warm, balmy confines of Pasadena and a very cosmopolitan playboy type who would not have been a good fit in a frozen-over blue collar city like Buffalo, either in terms of his playing style or personality-wise. Allen was a grit-and-guts country boy who made his name playing in the tundra of Wyoming, and physically his ceiling was just infinitely higher than Rosen's in terms of raw potential. You can teach better decision-making and improve accuracy at the NFL level; you can't teach size, arm strength, or sheer determination to improve. With that said I did think Rosen would have ended up being a decent pick too, and definitely didn't think Allen was going to mature as quickly as he did. In fairness to Rosen he got a pretty raw deal. If he ended up with a less dysfunctional organization than the Cards or Dolphins were when he played for them his story might have turned out better. He was never Top 10 material but maybe if he landed somewhere like New England to back up Brady for a few years he might have been groomed into becoming a solid starter with the right system in place. Even if he came to Buffalo and bought into the process that Beane and McDermott were cultivating, who knows? He would have never been Josh Allen but he could have at least been mediocre with the right weapons around him. Sure am glad we'll never know how that might have panned out, though, lol.

[@peterstockschlaeder956]

Later the Dolphins traded up to select Dion Jordan. We should have drafted the plate.

In recent history the Eagles have moved up and down with great success and in back to back drafts (2021+2022). Eagles got 2 young stars on both offense and defense and Aj Brown, while also gaining future assets. In 2021 the eagles traded down from 6 to 12 and picked up dolphins 4th rounder in 2021 and 1st rounder in the 2022 draft. At pick 12 they Moved up to 10 to select Heisman winner Devonta Smith. Now owning the dolphins 1st round pick ,the colts 1st rounder from the wentz trade and our own pick, we had 3 1st rounders in 2022 draft. We traded draft day moving picks to the saints in a trade that ended up being this years (10th overall pick). Then traded back up a few spots to select Jordan Davis and then traded the 18th overall and pick 101 for Aj Brown. So overall we turned the 3rd 1st rounders in the 2022 draft into the 10th overall pick this year. Jordan Davis. Aj Brown and a second rounder. Howie has been killing it and Both Smith and Davis will be in Philadelphia for many many years to come. Lets see if we can make it 3 drafts in a row in which we trade up for a STAR....

[@AdamKlownzinger]

My opinion on the three worst: Trent Richardson, Justin Gilbert, Mitch Trubisky. No particular order. Richardson - Browns traded from 4 to 3, for some reason, to draft a guy who not only ended up being a bust, but who they also could have gotten where they were anyways, because #3 was Minnesota with Adrian Peterson…. Justin Gilbert - Browns traded I believe from 9 to 8, again with Minnesota, to draft a guy who wasn’t expected go until the middle of the first round, and who ended up being a bust anyways. The Vikings would pick a pro-bowl linebacker a pick later. Mitch Trubisky - The Bears trade with the SF 49ers from #3 to #2 to take Mitch Trubisky, a quarterback who some didn’t think would even go in the first round, and who absolutely nobody but themselves was thinking of taking that high, let alone trading up to do so. The 49ers were never in play for a quarterback at that spot, and higher rated prospects with obviously higher potential Deshaun Watson and Patrick Mahomes were available, so if the Bears even wanted to trade down a few spots to get one of them they could have. Instead, they move up to #2 for…Mitch Trubisky. These 3 are the worst not only because of the players they got, but the fact that even if these players weren’t named Trent Richardson or Justin Gilbert or Mitch Trubisky, that they didn’t even need to give up any more valuable assets to get them.

Honestly I thank the bears for doing what they did, been a Chiefs fan since 2014. And as much flack as Bills and Chiefs fans give each other, they got their franchise QBs. It let the Bills get some pieces that 2017 year and gave Sean McDermott time to feel out the organization in his first year. The next year they were able to use the first round pick from KC to get Tremaine Edmunds which gave them room to trade up with the Bengals to get Josh Allen at #7.

Imagine everyone surprised when a running QB gets hurt. The odds are what 100%? If you watched him actually throw the football, he wasn't very good. Once he was to beat up to run, he'd have been done anyway. Look at 99.9% of all the 1 read and run QBs. And RG3 was a 1 read and run QB. You don't win with one. NFL history shows you this. They don't last. By the time they learned enough to not totally suck they are out of the league. Jackson has lasted the longest and he's won nothing. All thou this year he might not because he great but because the AFC isn't good, and the defense is elite. He could easily carry him to a SB. Just like Seattle's did to Wilson.

[@TheAlanFish]

Griffin was always going to get hurt. He was probably the worst player I have ever seen when it came to self-protection instincts, and had already suffered one torn ACL in college. Every time he got hit he looked like a ragdoll. It was honestly bizarre. It really didn't matter though, he simply didn't have the talent to maintain that performance level even if he had stayed healthy. He was fast, but he wasn't elusive, and he had horrible awareness in the pocket. He basically had to catch the defense off guard, and he did in that first season. NFL coaches figured out how to play the read option the next season though, ever since it's only been highly productive if you had a truly elite runner of the ball at QB. It was a flash in the pan.

[@mattcarberry368]

RG3 being constantly injured was very predictable and easy-to-see coming, anyone who was surprised by those developments wasn't paying attention lol he was absolutely clueless when it came to protecting himself on the field..... it's kind of like when i watch some Jayden Daniels LSU highlights and see him literally jump head first into contact like a deer leaping into oncoming traffic lol like he better figure that out before he steps on an NFL field or he'll also figure out why it stands for "Not For Long".... injuries aren't just about luck, it's also about player awareness and RG3, both on and off the field, always seemed incredibly naive

@@fortynights1513 If you got stuck with either I'm sure each team would have been happy. Both are A1 and A2 as all-time great OTs. Muntz had the slightest of edges but with both their skill levels it didn't matter but were amazing. Cinny had they gotten stuck with Jones would have been just as happy and Seattle would have been with Muntz over Jones. Muntz was supposed to be great. Jones was not on the same level draft talent wise. He just turned out to be on Muntz's level so to speak.

Was hoping the Bills dumping 1st & 4th round picks to move up 5 spots to draft Sammy Watkins would be on here. Not going to make any "most consequential" list, probably, but it was common knowledge going into the 2014 draft that the class was stuffed with elite WRs, and spending that much just to grab Watkins was aggressively stupid.

[@chriskay1449]

ONe "best trade up" missed was by the Green Bay Packers in 2009. Packers had traded Brett Favre to the Jets the year previous which ended up being a 3rd rounder. That pick allowed the Packers to have enough to trade up into the 1st Round and select Clay Matthews III who was a huge piece to their Super Bowl 45 win. So, not only did Brett Favre fail to win another Super Bowl while the Packers won one, but he was used to help Green Bay win theirs.

It's hilarious looking back on the 2017 Bears, Chiefs, and Bills trades. The Bears got nothing. The Chiefs got a 2-time league MVP, 3-time Super Bowl champion, 3-time Super Bowl MVP, one of the three greatest qbs ever, and a dynasty out of it. None of the players the Bills drafted with those picks are still on the team.

RG3 is just the saddest story. He was so good on his rookie year. He immediately was incredible and absolutely deserved offensive rookie of the year. If it wasn't for that injury who knows what his career would be like.

How can you cover Darnold, Allen and Rosen on this video but completely ignore the Ravens trading up to get Lamar in the same draft?! Man’s an MVP!

[@larrylindgren9484]

What was silly they didn't need to trade he'd have been there anyway. No one in the NFL thought he'd be anything. Most thought he needed to change positions. The trade worked out well for them, but it was a waste of picks. He'd have been sitting there when they were picking anyway. Plus had Flaco not flamed out he might have never seen the field. So, at the time it was a wasted trade to get a QB who should have never played had Flaco not melted down after winning a SB.

[@SportsBossMan]

Very interesting video! Here's what stands out to me: 1) What in the hell was Mike Ditka thinking, moving up only 5 spots and giving up not only his entire draft that year, but a 1st and a 3rd the next year! Sure, he got a real good RB in Ricky Williams, but the Washington front office must have been rolling on the floor laughing at getting all those picks! 2) It seems moving up for a non-QB has a much higher success rate than moving up for a QB. Jerry Rice, Julio Jines, Tony Dorsett, Emmitt Smith, Troy Polamalu, Tony Gonzalez, Walter Jones, Orlando Pace, Darrelle Revis, Eric Dickerson and Earl Campbell were ALL hits. So many failures at QB: Trubisky, Jeff George, Ryan Leaf, Blane Gabbert, Mark Sanchez, Sam Darnold, Josh Rosen and Tim Tebow were all busts. Of course when you DO hit on a quarterback, you strike gold - Patrick Mahomes being example # 1. The Bills traded up for Josh Allen and he's been very good as well.

[@whydoineedachanneltocommen8755]

2017 gave us a trade up for Mahomes - and a trade up for Trubisky 2018 gave us trades up for Allen and Jackson - and trades up for Darnold and Rosen. Suffice it to say, I shake my head when a team wants to replace a proven veteran QB with a promising rookie. It's wonderful when it works out, but when it doesn't, your team gets worse when you had a guy on your roster who could've taken you to the Super Bowl. If I've got Goff (took Rams to a Super Bowl), Jimmy G (two conference championships and a Super Bowl appearance in 3 years, albeit with plenty of injuries), Geno Smith (at least for now), or even Tannehill (AFC title game, No. 1 seed a couple years later when Derrick Henry was injured), you bet your ass I'm only trading for a QB if he's proven (see: LA Rams trading for Matthew Stafford and promptly winning a Super Bowl, or the Buccaneers giving up on draft bust Jameis Winston and signing Tom Brady and promptly winning a Super Bowl). But Will Levis or Hendon Hooker? I liked what I saw from Hendon Hooker this year, but a rookie is a risk. And...... I don't see Levis becoming the next Josh Allen. Or a viable QB, really. Put me on cold takes exposed if Levis replacing Tannehill isn't a mistake in a couple of years.

What's really telling is that in the vast majority of these big trades, very few teams actually improved themselves, even if they got a great player. For example, the Ricky Williams/Washington trade. NO did terrible that year but once Haslett was hired the next year they did better than Washington which after one good year ended up being terrible.
