Some of you have hinted at it, but haven't stated it:

 

The term "overdraft" exists only in the PAST tense.

 

There are many that thought Seattle overdrafted Wilson.  I agree with TMD's assertion that Kaepernick would have been a great pick at 16, and many in Cinci wouldn't have minded if they'd picked him with their first overall pick.  But both teams would have been blasted by their fans and the press for not getting "value".  Seattle, by the way, were blasted for reaching throughout the 2012 NFL draft - including the Wilson pick.

 

Re-do the 2000 draft today, and Brady goes first overall.  I'm totally against pirk's advice:  You like a guy, you take him.  That's what Seattle did, and that's what the Patriots did. 

 

Don't chase "value."  Get a good player.
