Off subject, but this is the only sports thread going these days...
I was looking at the 2005 NFL draft (the Alex Smith draft) yesterday and i was struck by how horribly some teams used their top-ten pick:
(1) Alex Smith - 49ers
(4) Cedrick Benson - Bears
(6) Adam Pacman Jones - Titans
(7) Troy Williamson - Vikings
(10) Mike Williams - Lions (Matt Millen, you truly suck)
Talk about your poo-poo platters. Not one of these guys is worth a fifth-round pick today.
And it's not like there was no talent available. The Cowboys got DeMarcus Ware at 11 and the Chargers picked up Shawne Merriman with the 12th pick.
It was stunning to see Aaron Rodgers fall to the 24th pick. Even a Niner-hater like me was disgusted when they passed on Rodgers to take Smith.
