Oooff, was 99 Jamal Reynolds??

But Howard Green makes up for it

[bud fox]

Agree love the Howard Green.

Datone gets me more than Reynolds ... Maybe a time factor.

Please use this #99 instead of subjecting us to Jamal Reynolds

I tried to give a mix between the years of goods and bad, relevant and not.

Always gotta go to big Donny Davey if we are talking a real 99 though. Manitowoc Lincoln HS grad, UW Badger, Green Bay Packer, living the ultimate WI dream.

Ugh, how could I have forgotten about Davey? I think I have his rookie card from 1991.

Big Don Davey played while I was in HS attending Sheboygan South. Dude was a man among boys. One of those guys you just watch in awe while he’s on the field.

That Jamal Reynolds avatar always made me get squeemish / the heebie geebies, etc. (glad its gone). 10th pick in the 2001 NFL draft ......... 3 total career sacks. Played in 18 games. #99 Wasted pick.

The 16th overall pick in the 2007 draft had 17 solo tackles over 3 seasons. And won a Super Bowl ring. #91 Wasted pick.

Tim Harris, Sean Jones and Harold Green were all fantastic in their respective days.

I still remember people trying to defend the Harrell pick year in and year out.

So it's a pick that didn't work out. I didn't like it at the time, like the most of Packer Nation, but it could have turned out much different. It wasn't just momma's home cooking, either. The Packers strength team essentially caused a horrible back injury that pretty much sealed his fate. Maybe he would have been serviceable or even good if the S&C Team didn't suck at their jobs. That 2007 Draft is littered with a bunch of nobody's in the 2nd-half of the 1st Round. A few standouts like Jon Beason, Joe Staley, Ben Grubbs, and Greg Olsen, but not much else. That was also the year I did my first ever mock draft on Football's Future. I had the Packers stand pat at 16 and draft Darrelle Revis. The comments were not kind. Only in hindsight are we all mock draft champions. That's why I usually give the FO the benefit of the doubt.

Yeah, that's actually not a well-known fact. Some idiot from our S&C at the time had him do a 1,000-lb. weight sled, and I think he hadn't fully recovered from injury. His back was FUBAR after that. I don't think teams even do that with completely healthy players anymore. Critics of the pick say that because he had an "injury history" during college that that should have kept us away from drafting him, but his college injuries were not of a type that would be a problem in the future (and weren't what dogged him as a pro).

You might say it's evidence of fragility or proneness to injury, which is fair enough, I guess. Personally, I would not let non-reoccurring injuries scare me away from drafting a guy who in my estimation would be the best talent on the board and fill a need. I mean, Jaire was knocked for being of a slight build and having gotten nicked up quite a few times in college. He missed a bit of time early, too, yet I don't think we regret that pick very much in the end.

More to the point, an on-field injury was not what made him bust in the end.

Harrell was more then just fragile, he was glass, the guy could hurt himself with little to no effort at all

We knew Harrell’s injury was serious, and it’s not terribly surprising. The 2007 first-round pick has only played in 14 games in four seasons because of injuries. He has two career starts.

of all the bust since the 2000 draft Harrell tops the list

and of the 9 or so players on this list 4 are DT, it's why I hate drafting DT's

Worse than Sherrod?

Sherrod was taken 32nd and he came in without injury concerns. Not only that but that was where most projections placed him.

Harrell was massively over drafted and had major injury concerns when taken. It is the 2nd worst pick in Packers history IMO because of how much of a reach it was.

87 Willie Davis. Defensive captain in the 1960s. Hall of Famer. Don't know how to post pictures on the new board. Go Packers!

Exact same as old board, plus like three other options. All quite simple.

Literally just try and I think it would be harder to not find a way that works vs stumbling onto something that does.
