The only 7 exceptions to that were the 7 names that I listed earlier. Moffitt in Seattle being the only player that might have been taken but he was a guard, and according to Wikipedia - Moffitt was drafted number 75 overall by the Seattle Seahawks in the 2011 NFL Draft. During the live ESPN coverage of the draft, Moffitt was termed "unathletic" and "a reach" by ESPN analyst Todd McShay.
So it's not a case of we will never know. We know the discrete number of players that were off the board from the time of our traded pick to our next pick, and we can see if any would have impacted our line in a better way. And that is hindsight that seems to say that a healthy JB would have outshined any of those 7 options. Although Mallet might make a brutal RT :cheeky-sm
Round 3 of the draft |
I'm glad we didn't draft Ryan Mallet regardless.
