  • Joe Thomas was fishing on Lake Michigan when he heard the news....that's who he was. Now he will be in the HOF in 2023...
  • @ThatGreenGuy85
    Jankowski was the best player on their team for years. Top 5 kicker in the league for most of his 20 year career. Turned out to be a decent pick.
  • @Jawsnake
    The best part of the Janikowski pick is the die hards waiting for the pick, and then back to growling like pirates like they just drafted a killing machine
  • @Smsrules1
    Heyward-Bey is always a classic lmfao
  • @empire0
    So used to seeing fans pissed off by the pick, yet the Raiders fans of all people were happy about drafting a kicker😂 Janikowski was a beast though
  • @Jeff051176
    How was the Browns picking Joe Thomas in 2007 more shocking than the Dolphins taking Ted Ginn at #9? The Ginn pick was stunning.
  • @pythonbyte
    The Browns really took a 28 yr old QB in round 1.
  • @kid_kaoz
    Some of these don't seem like they were surprises. Winston to Tampa Bay certainly wasn't. Everyone knew it was Winston probably or maybe Mariota. The shock is that neither worked out in the NFL. Alex Smith wasn't a shock either - obviously didn't work out the way the Niners wanted when they went with him over Rodgers, but not a shock. I don't think it was a shock that Manzel went in the first round, someone was going to make that mistake, I would almost be shocked if it wasn't the Browns that made it with the way they were drafting at the time.

    If not for injuries, Jake Long would have had a potentially HOF career. Shine bright for that short period of time he was healthy
  • @naswii4360
    These are mostly accurate for sure. Though I think Ted Ginn in 2007 or Blake Bortles in 2014 were bigger surprises
  • @TheRmm1976
    Fun facts about Janikowski: "One of only three NFL kickers to be selected in the first round of an NFL draft, Janikowski is the Raiders' all-time leading scorer and appeared in more games with the franchise than any other player."
  • @lxfenix
    Imagine booing Joe Thomas because you wanted Brady Quinn
  • How many times does this have to fucking be said, the Vikings did NOT forget to make a pick. They had a trade set up and the other team did not send in their paperwork quickly enough. Vikings STILL got the guy they wanted, Kevin Williams who is a borderline HoF player.
  • @demoneyin9390
    I completely forgot the Browns took a “rookie” QB who was 28 years old. How does that even happen? Oh and they also took Trent Richardson.🤣🤣🤣

    Here's my analysis: Sebastian Janikowski spent nearly 2 decades as the Raiders' placekicker. Jamal Reynolds was an injury bust. Levi Jones was above average. Kevin Williams had an All-Pro career. Eli Manning got traded for Philip Rivers, which was a win-win. Alex Smith was a late bloomer. Mario Williams was pretty good. Joe Thomas is already in the Hall of Fame. Jake Long had a good start to his career before he got injured. Darrius Heyward-Bey was fast. And that's all. Tim Tebow had only one season as the main starter. Jake Locker retired after the end of his rookie contract. Brandon Weeden was too old. Dion Jordan was a complete bust. Johnny Manziel was another massive bust. Jameis Winston is now a backup. Eli Apple is an unlikeable player. Mitch Trubisky had one Pro Bowl season but he was drafted ahead of Patrick Mahomes. Baker Mayfield was just named to his first Pro Bowl... but Cleveland still gave up on him. Daniel Jones is below average. Jordan Love is finally a starter. Ja'marr Chase is a Top 5-10 receiver.
