At the time, Blackmon was the pick for us. Nobody thought he was going to booze it up like he did. Yes he had priors, but you have to give the benefit of a doubt and hope he straightens himself out. That was too much talent to pass on.


You just can't blame anyone for picking him...

I agree, this screams of a front office publicly patting theirselves on the back trying to portray them as smarter than everyone else.

 

If WR was a primary need for them, they probably would've considered Blackmon even with the known issues. They just signed Jackson to a big contract that year so they weren't going to spend a high draft pick on a WR no matter what.
