Quote:Hindsight is 20/20. I wanted Mack, and Carr possibly in the 2nd (I had no preference in the 2nd) if we were going to go QB. We had the shot to pull what the Raiders did, but we didn't. Dave liked Bortles for whatever reason, 2 GMs in a row picking project QBs in the 1st round. Disgusting. 

 

This is the problem. Most people like to think hindsight is the only correct way to think of things like this. The truth is nobody - not even the Raiders - could have known at the time Derek Carr was going to be a great QB early in his career. Or at least better than Blake Bortles by a mile. If there was, he would have been drafted early in the first round, not the second. We could do this about every draft and always be wrong about someone.
