I have said this one statement since I was a player/coach in high school: stop firing/hiring coaches on a carousel and actually evaluate the people scouting/recruiting these players because they are the ones that need to go. Their logic is "let's try to fit a square peg into a round hole" and see what happens. Yay, you get to pick in the top 10 AGAIN next year.

He refuses to get an agent, he refuses to entertain options, yet still wants to get paid like other QBs that hired good agents. Jaylen Hurts didn't get that bag from being an A hole with NPD thinking "I can do it myself, f all y'all." That's what all the teams in that draft saw. It's obvious now. I mean, come on, he's unrestricted, no one is wanting to deal with him. Dude needs some humble pie. I also think it's funny how all the locker room issues reported about him are being ignored right now with the contract issue going on.

[@logicaldude3611]

For those too young to remember, Aaron Rodgers was CLEARLY the best QB in that draft. He was slated to go #1 for awhile. His slide was more dramatic than all the others because even if he didn't go #1, you wouldn't expect a guy like him to go past the top 5. Especially not 20 years ago when teams were more willing to pull the trigger on a QB at the top of the draft. I still can't believe Alex Smith was selected over him. It blew my mind at the time and it still blows my mind today. I think Alex Smith came across as more mature and he had a young Urban Meyer blowing the bullhorn for him constantly. Rodgers came across as a little like a frat guy and that could be a reason he fell, but he was clearly so much more talented than Alex Smith to an extreme degree. The fall to #24 was insane. John Elway got drafted #1 to the Colts in the 80s despite the fact that he said he would never play for their organization lol so they traded him to Denver. Rodgers should have been #1. I thought it at the time and never changed my mind. He was too good to pass on unless you had a legit HOF QB in his prime at QB.

Huh? Marino himself credits a lot of his transition to the NFL going so well to Don Strock's mentoring. Coach Shula was also an excellent resource. He also was 23 when he hit the league, which a lot of these players now are pressured to come in earlier before graduating from college, leaving themselves emotionally and mentally not ready to handle the pressure of helming a billion dollar franchise's fortunes. I dont think what you're saying is necessarily true, he came in physically ready and old/mature enough to handle it, but his learning curve was accelerated by an excellent coach and qb mentor that allowed him to smooth it over on the fly. His supporting offensive cast was also excellent. If he was just flopped out there with no protection, no mentor and no co-stars like a lot of guys are when they're expected to "save this franchise" he probably would have failed too.

If Aaron Rodgers went in the top 10, it's highly likely he's a bust. He'd go to a team that wasn't good and be thrust into a starting job when he needed A LOT of improving before he was ready- even when he did start 3 years later he didn't come out of the gate looking like a great QB.

When the Jets took him, the Browns war room was so shocked and unprepared that they traded 20 spots down (yes, you're reading that correctly) with the defending champion 49ers. The Niners took J.J.

He threw 23 picks 2 years in a row haha that’s wild. I love Dan but boy he was a slinger

[@fortynights1513]

There’s also the possibility that Burrow’s college coach asked him to throw more often. No knock on Burrow, but let’s face it, in general teams ran a lot more in the early 80’s than the late 2010’s as schemes, rules and tendancies change.

I love that Sapp had such an amazing career to make up for that terrible draft night drama

[@Raugturi]

As a Panthers fan I'm required to hate Sapp, obviously, but he got really fucked over. Even if some of the logic was bad against some of the others, at least it was really about them. He got fucked by some shit that someone just completely fabricated out of thin air.

[@usedturtleshell3364]

Johnny Football sliding that far was so entertaining and people were just like “WHY TF NO ONE TAKING HIM HES GENERATIONAL” ofc he didn’t turn out in the end but it was mad bamboozling to see manziel fall that low

[@aznnp77]

Alex Smith really played in the perfect system in Utah. He was coached by Urban Meyer before he went big time. I remember Utah steamrolling everyone they played that year. They played in a BCS bowl that year against Pittsburgh and clobbered them. Basically couldn't be stopped. Rodgers was just unfortunate that not that many teams needed a QB that year. This is how you get Tua at #5 and Herbert at #6 without having to trade up.

[@EmmaBonn96]

I don’t consider someone who is picked late in the first round to be a slide A slide to me is something like Malik Willis from 2022 He was projected to maybe be picked as high second overall, he was in the green room on day 1. He was not picked until day 2. When you get in your nice suit and stand up there with all the other rookies and at the end of the night you have to go back to your hotel without knowing what your future holds, that is a slide.

[@scottwerner279]

I mean a slide list needs to be based on a few categories. How far did they slide? How famous were they in college? How famous did they get in the NFL? How many teams regretted not picking him? It really only takes the first round for every team to pass on a HOF

[@LondynHyde]

Whoever moved past Manziel, you did the right thing.. Laremy Tunsil's draft day was pretty wild too.

[@BookJay35]

In that 1995 NFL Draft the Patriots got Curtis Martin in the 3rd round with the number 74 pick. In the 6th round at pick #195 they took RB Dino Philyaw from Oregon. Pick 196 was RB Terrell Davis could you have imagined how good that backfield could have been if the Patriots went with Davis.

Draft slide? Geno was a bust for his first 8 years. Just because he had one great year doesn’t mean he was some underrated player/prospect. 😭

[@Hypodrize]

Obviously it hurts to see other players in your position get drafted before you but in a glass half full way, there's gotta be some relief during the sliding process that you know you're likely gonna go to a better organization because of it.

[@Gunzfan123]

I think the pain mostly comes from losing out on millions of dollars and people you feel like are worse than you getting it instead. Obviously there is a silver lining like you stated though.

[@brandonmoskos9149]

Man, Curtis Martin was a BEAST

[@simulatedchloe468]

Man EJ Manuel was such a disaster of a QB. Not like Geno wasn't but you have to think that would have been a better pick, really anyone else would have.

[@Scottsdaleofficesteve]

That was the complete opposite of a draft slide ha. If I recall correctly EJ Manuel was projected to go in the 2nd round. What a blunder

[@floridagator1765]

This proof the draft is LITERALLY a scrap shoot. It’s exciting and a great time to talk NFL for the fans and watch highlight reels. Most drafts are BUST filled. For MOST drafted, it is the highlight of their lives AND it goes down from there.

[@novaf525]

Ik it’s early but I think Malik Willis is an all time draft slide, even if he doesn’t end up becoming a franchise quarterback. Some projected him to go at 2 to the lions and he fell all the way to the 100s

[@UserName-ts3sp]

i don’t think tennessee wants him as a starter. there’s a reason josh dobbs played meaningful games over him

[@ringosteel3800]

I don’t think most reasonable people picked him to go that high. Mainly just ESPN and clickbait that always want to sell the idea of high ranked qbs

[@Gungho73]

@@ringosteel3800 Same. They were desperate to move more QB's up into the 1st that when you looked at the film, just weren't worthy of a 1st rounder. There was a large bag of random QB's they wanted a team to swoon over. The draft with EJ Manuel/Geno Smith is the closest I can mentally recall at that level of "will there/won't there" regarding a single first round QB. And EJ could've easily been the Malik Willis scenario reversed.

As a Steelers fan I will never forgive the other NFL teams that passed on Lamar Jackson, the entire time I knew he was gonna be a stud in the NFL and yet team after team passed on him, and then right as I thought a team I liked could pick him up in the second round the ravens snag him and my heart sank.

[@FuegoJustinnn]

Love him or hate him is Rodger’s was a niner or even had a top 10 defense most of his career he’d be a multiple Super Bowl champ winner but I’ve been a fan of his since he was drafted and most playoffs games he’s had some of the worst luck I’ve ever seen when Brady, mahomes, manning never got this bad luck moments. Like the Seahawks championship game which is just straight unreal, the cardinals game where he throws back to back hailmarys to tie the game just for the defense to give up a huge play in OT On one play to lose the game at the point and many other times. he consistently put up points but most of the time the defense ruined everything and it was a topic for years and years until you know COVID happened and then all of a sudden he’s the biggest enemy to the media……

[@dariusdbbowser6329]

Some of these slides turned out to be totally understandable lol, others like Lamar Jackson, Drew Brees, Aaron Rogers, etc were huge misses on the teams that needed QBs

[@Rednasyl28]

It’s kinda funny seeing the 2006 situation with Leinart/Young/Cutler and knowing that they all fizzled out of the NFL

[@SnowWolf90]

Sometimes I wonder if the same player would have had the success they had if they didn't fall in a draft

[@CloselyWatchedClips]

For recent players, Kyle Hamilton comes to mind. Not a huge slide (14), considering how much the safety position is devalued in the draft, but he was considered by many to be the best overall prospect in 2022. Russell Wilson is another name - he would have been a Top 10 pick in 2012 had he been a few inches taller.

[@FORTBLOX56]

Next year, you can add Will Levis to this list

[@oldiesplaylist1248]

22:55 the fact that they saw that and still took Alex smith over Rodgers 😂

[@BigBrutus50]

Can we honest about Geno? He had the worst luck with teams starting off. The Jets were TERRIBLE and have been terrible until this season, and this was a trending rebuilding season, then the Giants, same situation, terrible from then until now & he was a backup after that. The Seahawks team this year is also a rebuilding team but even so it was literally the best team he’s ever had in his 10 year career

[@fortynights1513]

Also if I’m not mistaken Sanchez got injured in the preseason, so Geno had to start immediately?

[@Blackhwk13]

Anyone who knows football knows that Johnny Manzel’s slide is not surprising. His play style got him chewed up in the NFL. And his attitude and personality sealed his fate

[@A7xFo]

There's a good chance the elite players that got passed on wouldn't have blossomed like they did had they been picked first overall. Being passed on gave them motivation unlike anything else to prove those teams made a big mistake by overlooking them. There's only one thing more motivating than believing in someone. It's NOT believing in them. The desire to prove them wrong ignited many of the best players to become legends.

[@Rockhound6165]

Another player to think about was Neil Lomax. In college, thanks to a new offensive system (Run & Shoot) and playing Div. II football he put up insane numbers. There were games when he was taken out at halftime because Portland State was up by so much. In one game vs. Delaware State he threw 7 TD passes in the 1st quarter en route to a 105-0 win. He received calls from several NFL teams who were interested. He was considered to be a late 1st round pick. He ended up being drafted by the Cardinals with the #5 pick in the 2nd round(#33 overall). Incidentally he was the 1st QB taken in that draft.

[@fortynights1513]

Did I read that correctly? A college team in the early 80’s won 105-0?

[@Rockhound6165]

@@fortynights1513 yes. They also won games by the scores of 93-7 and 75-0. Incidentally, they went 8-3 and finished tied for 4th among Div II independents. Fun Fact: A friend of mine is now the head coach of the team that wore that 1-5-0 score, Delaware St.
