Quote:Eh, that whole 2013 Class has been a disappointment. Especially if you were picking in the top 10. The time-machine pick should probably have been Sheldon Richardson, who would have fit really well in our defense.  

 

I'd say getting Aaron Colvin and Chris smith has been a pretty nice swap for Monroe. Chris Smith is still on the team and Aaron Colvin has done enough to show that he could be a long-term piece to the Jags secondary. Trades don't always have to be a landslide to be successful. Caldwell avoided overpaying Monroe who had bad knees and was at his peak really, in exchange for two players, one has been serviceable while the other is what you'd expect form a 5th rounder. 

 

If there was a bad trade in that draft it had to be the Niners sliding back with the Jags.. Think how dumb San Francisco Must feel after trading away Allen Robinson for a Center and Aaron Lynch .. Robinson would be considered the Next Rice or T.O in San Fran 

 

Funny thing about the bolded.  I remember a Bill Barnwell piece from that draft talking about the worst trades made.  I thought it was the Linder trade, but I went back and found the article, and he named the least logical trade of the draft as that Allen Robinson trade.

 

His reasoning, at the time, isn't exactly terrible, but man does it look bad in hindsight.  Can't post article.  Search grantland for "NFL Draft and Michael Sam".
