its not a decent pick. they were terrible for years and years, and u can literally find good kickers late day 3, and undrafted (justin tucker). no one was taking janikowski anywhere near where they took him
It's not a surprise because he was picked. It was where he was taken. He still could have been the best Raider's kicker with the most points in the 4th round.
Honestly it might be the biggest surprise W that the Browns have ever had. No one thought he would be good, or certainly not HOF level worth the #1 pick.
Joe Thomas was an amazing pick where they got him. The shock was that team needed so much that a Tackle was not the best need pick. Their starting talent positions were Charlie Frye, Rueben Droughns, Braylon Edwards, Joe Jurevicius, and Kellen Winslow in 2006. And their defense was just a bad overall. Joe Thomas is their best player in the Superbowl era, imo. But there was still Adrian Peterson, Patrick Willis, Marshawn Lynch, and Darrelle Revis on the board. That's what made it shocking. Remember this isn't the worst picks just the most surprising.
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
I respect the Raiders as one of those franchises with fans that would bust through a freaking brick wall if someone said their player’s hair is stupid!
@Thegooman67 prolly back when they played in oakland ,la is not the city of football las vegas's been aight but nothing beats oakland fans and then with chargers san antonio
It's mainly because everyone expected them to take Brady Quinn with that pick. At the time it was very surprising because it came out of nowhere in terms of media/fan perspective. But it turned out to absolutely be the correct pick
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.
Yeah some of these make me question if they know what "shocking" means. Miami's pick of Jake Long was pretty much already preordained before draft day. They knew who they wanted so much they already signed him to rookie contract days before Goodell went to that podium.
I think it was more so that going into the draft it wasnt certain if Bucs were going to take Winston or Mariota. Usually, the number 1 pick is pretty clear by draft day.
@@GuckFoogleJamies being the #1 picked was confirmed the moment he won the heisman it was really only open for debate once he started doing the bs off the field
here's the real answer for most shocking pick, for as long as I've been following the draft: 2010: tyson alualu 2011: christian ponder 2012: bruce irvin 2013: travis frederick 2014: ja'wuan james 2015: byron jones 2016: joshua garnett 2017: john ross 2018: rashaad penny 2019: tytus howard 2020: damon arnette 2021: payton turner 2022: cole strange 2023: jahmyr gibbs
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.
"Tim Tebow showed flashes of greatness".... that's *extremely* generous. He completed less than 50% of his passes in his career because he had such a slow wind up and couldn't progress through his reads very quickly. Play the clip of the game winning touchdown against the Steelers in the playoffs and really watch his delivery. It took him forever to get that ball out (Edit: also, watch #29 Ryan Mundy). Other teams saw his tape and said the same thing to themselves. That's why he didn't get serious opportunities at QB after that: he obviously did not have the skills to be a good (let alone average) NFL quarterback. That's not hating on him, the guy absolutely maxed out his athletic gifts. But that doesn't mean it was an understandable or justifiable selection by the team. It was very clear he'd struggle to transition from college to the pros. At the very least the Broncos easily could've had him in the later rounds.
13:07 I'll always remember the 2021 draft as I was in the hospital with some really bad pain in my stomach/abdomen. I was getting an ultrasound done when the bengals took chase. They ended up diagnosing me with appendicitis and i had surgery the next day
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."
As a Steelers fan, I’ll always be grateful for Eli Manning’s dad making him not play for the chargers. I forget how it ended up happening exactly, but it let the Steelers end up with Ben. Both went on to win 2 super bowls. Giants 🤝🏻 Steelers
So chargers wanted Manning, Manning obviously didn't want to play for them, they picked him anyways, giants picked Philip Rivers then they swapped QBs rivers went to San Diego Manning went to play for New York
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.
Richard Seymore in the 2001 nfl draft by New England was the best tremendously terrific player winning 3 super bowl championships now he's a pro football hall of famer 0:46
2007 wasn’t a shocking pick at all. Joe Thomas was an elite tackle up until he retired. That would be one of the safer picks for any team, especially the Browns to do.
Yeah I’m not sure why this person included the Thomas pick. The real shocker was Ted Ginn over Brady Quinn. I still remember Dolphins fans at the watch party looking PISSED.
2:45 Fun fact about Alex Smith going #1, he and NBA player Andrew Bogut became the first players to go #1 in the NBA and NFL in the same year from the same college. Also, Long wasn't a shocking pick. I remember hearing at the time that the Dolphins had already signed Long prior to the draft.
No one could’ve predicted how vastly different two late first round projected wrs would pan out not shocking at all. Chase over Sewell with Burrow coming off injury & Cincy having the worst O line in the league is def shocking
@@willlamoureux1690 no they didn’t? And even if they did both picks are top 5 at their position so they couldn’t really miss. The Eagles flat out took a bum over a generational receiver. A guy who will break records compared to a guy traded before his rookie contract was up.
@@willlamoureux1690 didn’t Burrow and Chase go to the Super Bowl that year? Also Chase won rookie of the year… looks like that terrible O line didn’t miss him much
Who the the 2009 should have shown was the Raiders 2nd round pick. Safety Mike Mitchell from the Ohio Bulldogs, who was pick 47! Mel Kiper Jr. had him anywhere between the 40th to 75th safety in the class, who ended up being the 4th one picked. ESPN did not even have a photo or stats ready to show on TV. EVERYONE said the Raiders could have most likely gotten him as an undrafted free agent. Man I miss Al Davis on Draft days!
I’d argue that Clelin Ferrell going 4th in the 2019 Draft was a bigger surprise. Josh Allen (not the QB) and Devin White were standing right there and Ferrell wasnt even being considered a 1st rounder. Whats even worse is that the Raiders had 2 late 1st round picks that they couldve used on Ferrell if they wanted him so bad
This vid shows how bad the Browns have been at using their draft picks. They probably could have traded all of their high 1st round picks for TWO first round picks. It's harder to bungle when you have two picks, not just one. That's an easy adjustment.
As a Packer fan, I will NEVER get over the Jordan Love pick. It screwed up out of another SuperBowl, all GB needed was 1 first round talent at WR or TE to pair with Davante. 4 years of hype, just to show everybody he is Worst in League in almost every stat and he drove a HOF QB and WR out of town in their prime.
LOL you got brainwashed by the simps at ESPN. There wasn't one WR that would have put them in teh SB. Their defense was bad and that QB you worship had a penchant for ignoring rookie wideoutts. And now you look like a complete moron as Jordan Love's numbers surpassed Rodgers numbers first year as a starter and he led the Packers to the plaqyoffs, something neither Favre nor Rodgers did. Everyone is now laughing at you.
It was really obvious that gutekunst was doing his best to “starve the beast” while building his team in the background for the future. On top of 2018,19,and 20 largely being flops of drafts, that did not help the short window at the end of Rodger’s tenure in GB. I won’t be angry with the love pick anymore, but i will always be mad at the Josh myers pick. It should in this video.
@@apinecone2753 Love gets so much hype right now, and he still cant hit a deep WR unless he is wide open. Now he gets paid more than ARod and doesnt have 1/3 the talent, meanwhile GB finally has a stacked offense and 2 QB's who just aint good enough to win vs good teams or crucial moments.
2011 should've been Danny Watkins, offensive guard the Eagles took 23rd overall. As a junior fireman Watkins studied fire sciences at Butte College, eventually recruited on to play football at 22 years old, I'm guessing his senior year there. At 22 he had never played before. After that season he was eligible to transfer to anywhere to play football on a full scholarship, attending Baylor. He'd go on to play 4 years there, and showed up to 2011 NFL draft at the young age of 26! As good of a GM that Howie Roseman has been, this a long with taking Jalen Reagor over Justin Jefferson have been the most baffling choices I've seen any GM make
@@PTrep2727contrarily, overreaching on a QB is common and not baffling, drafting a 26 year old guard in the first round with no football pedigree and limited experience is unheard of. . Also, Andy Reid would have had the final say on that pick, not Howie. Andy also drafted Freddie Mitchell over Reggie Wayne or Chad Johnson ICYMI
@@ThatGreenGuy85 good point. I was born in 85, been an Eagles fan my whole life. Drafting receivers has never been our thing. IMO Desean Jackson is the best receiver they've drafted in my lifetime. (Obv Carmichael for previous generations) Devonta looks like a really good player but other than that they've needed to trade for or sign productive wide outs
I think had manziel and Tebow been used right, it would have been another story. I would have used them not as an every down qb but just an option, maybe in 3rd down situations and trick plays. Both guys were great runners and good at making something out of nothing. But they were anomalies at qb, definitely not going to have either guy run your offense which is why they failed
If Tebow had the right coach he’d be used like Taysom Hill. Could have made a great gadget player but I think at the time he was either fully committed to playing quarterback or the league in general just looked down on using a quarterback like that
Clelin Ferell should've been in here... that to me is CLEARLY the most wtf pick from that draft. Me and everyone I knew watching that draft were so confused on why they took him in the first round, let alone in the top 5.
@@austinp9348 bro everyone signs their first overall pick before the draft they just dont tell anyone, the Bengals sent Burrow the playbook like 4 months before the draft
Same with Alex smith. Same with Mario Williams. Joe Thomas was a good and expected pick. Half of this video is just regular picks and expected picks. 😂
I'm surprised Jalen hurts wasn't on here. Kinda in the same category as Danny Jones and Jordan Love only Rodgers and Manning were getting old. Carson Wentz fans still were hoping he could work out and he was much younger. In hindsight, that's probably Howie rosemans best draft pick ever, but it sure shocked us at the time.
Goes to show fans literally know nothing - Joe Thomas and Jake Long were two of the best players in this clip, and at their position for a long time, and they both got booed. Just because it's a "boring" pick, doesn't mean it's a bad one. And they cheered for Manziel LOL.
Eli being picked by San Diego was not shocking though. Sure, Eli may have said he wasn't going to sign there but San Diego made it known before the draft they were still going to pick him. Much like how the Colts took Elway even though he said he wasn't go to sign there. Alex Smith was also not a shock. He was hyped as being a 1st overall ptospect while at Utah.
Yup. I was thinking that too. Mario Williams wasn't a shock either. Sure, Vince Young and Reggie Bush were the two everyone thought should be in contention for #1, but it was not a closely held secret that the Texans wanted Williams over those two.
Rodgers was also hyped as the #1 overall. And yes Smith being chosen was a shock because SF was #1 and Rodgers grew up a 49ers fan living in California. Most people assumed Rodgers would be taken.
That 2005 #1 overall pick EVERYONE had Aaron Rodgers going first and they go and take Alex Smith, Rodgers slides all the way to 25th and Jesus Christ. As a Cowboys fan, I'll never forgive San Fran. That guy just murdered us like it was a part time job
@@chriskay1449 murdered does not even begin to describe that mayhem. Sad day for a cowboy fan. We already have resigned ourselves to the fact that Green Bay is about to become a dynasty again.
Daniel Jones was by far the biggest reach, he wasnt even looked at in the second round much less 6th overall, heyward bey was at least considered a bottom first to second rounder
It wasn't shocking. It's on a list like this because of who Miami didn't take, which was Matt Ryan. People seem to think Ryan was this consensus lock drat pick at the position but he wasn't.
Most of these were not shocking at all, were the obvious pick that everyone expected, and had much more shocking ones, like Alex Smith was guaranteed to be the #1 pick but Aaron Rogers falling to the Packers was a truly shocking moment when they had Favre, no one expected that
Wrong. Alexa Smith was not guarnateed to be the #1 pick. IN fact, many people thought ROdgers would be taken because he grew up a fan of the Niners and was from California. Also, everyone assoiciated with the decision admitted they went back and forth on it before Mike Nolan decided on Smith because he thought Rodgers was too cocky and arrogant.
Jake Long at #1 to Miami wasn't shocking. We just have the ability to look back now and know Matt Ryan had a great career. But Ryan was far from some sure thing in the scouting community.
Alot of the "surprise" picks that you put in this video weren't surprise picks at all. A surprise pick, when it comes to the NFL is one that none of the analyst saw coming or stated was going to be chosen. A number of times, the analyst would mention the player drafted was a possibility. Maybe it was a surprise for you who made the video. Put that in the headline instead of making it out to seem every pick was a legitimate surprise. Very disappointing. Thumbs down
Too many #1 overall picks, especially the teams that didn't really need a quarterback at that point. Plus Ja'Marr Chase for the Bengals despite the experts saying that they needed Penei Sewell.
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.
Just a little to early in the draft 😂 2nd round wouldnt be as crazy
@@Texanslifehe’s their top point scorer of all time tho
@@gogousa6661Fans tend to forget that the top scorers of NFL teams are usually the kickers...

It's not a surprise because he was picked. It was where he was taken. He still could have been the best Raider's kicker with the most points in the 4th round.
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...
Joe Thomas went from fishing on Lake Michigan when he got the phone call to a wearing a gold jacket in Canton.

Honestly it might be the biggest surprise W that the Browns have ever had. No one thought he would be good, or certainly not HOF level worth the #1 pick.
It was a yearly tradition with his dad.

Remember this isn't the worst picks just the most surprising.
Sebastian had a 20 year career, great pick!
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
And they did 😂

He was the right pick in that draft.
Heyward-Bey is always a classic lmfao
I liked when the raiders too Michael Mitchell
Biggest shock is he kinda turned it around and stuck in the league for a decade.
Shits hilarious
Mayock AND Eisen on the mic....just the fuggin best.
For real.. miss this although I really like Daniel Jeremiah a lot
How was the Browns picking Joe Thomas in 2007 more shocking than the Dolphins taking Ted Ginn at #9? The Ginn pick was stunning.
Exactly! Thomas is a Hall of Famer and arguably one of the best picks the Browns have made since their return to the league.
It's mainly because everyone expected them to take Brady Quinn with that pick. At the time it was very surprising because it came out of nowhere in terms of media/fan perspective. But it turned out to absolutely be the correct pick
And Miami wasn’t supposed to pick Quinn either?
@@yankeeman311 no everyone knew thomas was going there same with jake long
Joe Thomas was projected to go to Cleveland in multiple drafts. It was going to be him, Quinn or AP
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.

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
No he wasn't. He was overdrafted just like most of Davis' picks from 2000-2011
If not for injuries, Jake Long would have had a potentially HOF career. Shine bright for that short period of time he was healthy
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.

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.
Jordan Love "breakout" season has him Worst in League in almost every category going thru the soft part of the schedule.

I remember everyone thought Reggie Bush would go first, but Williams was definitely the better pick in hindsight.
It’s worth noting that Eli Apple also sucks ass
Love turned it around at the end there. Just ask Dallas.
The Browns really took a 28 yr old QB in round 1.
Just a Browns Draft Fail Compilation 😂
*Raiders

As a Steelers fan, I’ll always be grateful for Eli Manning’s dad making him not play for the chargers. I forget how it ended up happening exactly, but it let the Steelers end up with Ben. Both went on to win 2 super bowls. Giants 🤝🏻 Steelers
So chargers wanted Manning, Manning obviously didn't want to play for them, they picked him anyways, giants picked Philip Rivers then they swapped QBs rivers went to San Diego Manning went to play for New York
Then Ben ended up as good as both QBs combined

Everyone is now laughing at you.
It was really obvious that gutekunst was doing his best to “starve the beast” while building his team in the background for the future. On top of 2018,19,and 20 largely being flops of drafts, that did not help the short window at the end of Rodger’s tenure in GB. I won’t be angry with the love pick anymore, but i will always be mad at the Josh myers pick. It should in this video.
@@apinecone2753 Love gets so much hype right now, and he still cant hit a deep WR unless he is wide open. Now he gets paid more than ARod and doesnt have 1/3 the talent, meanwhile GB finally has a stacked offense and 2 QB's who just aint good enough to win vs good teams or crucial moments.
2011 should've been Danny Watkins, offensive guard the Eagles took 23rd overall. As a junior fireman Watkins studied fire sciences at Butte College, eventually recruited on to play football at 22 years old, I'm guessing his senior year there. At 22 he had never played before. After that season he was eligible to transfer to anywhere to play football on a full scholarship, attending Baylor. He'd go on to play 4 years there, and showed up to 2011 NFL draft at the young age of 26! As good of a GM that Howie Roseman has been, this a long with taking Jalen Reagor over Justin Jefferson have been the most baffling choices I've seen any GM make
I immediately thought of the the Reagor pick. Howie has won me back over with the last couple of years, but sheesh what a brutal pick.
QB overreach will always trump a guard. 🤷
@@PTrep2727contrarily, overreaching on a QB is common and not baffling, drafting a 26 year old guard in the first round with no football pedigree and limited experience is unheard of.
.
Also, Andy Reid would have had the final say on that pick, not Howie. Andy also drafted Freddie Mitchell over Reggie Wayne or Chad Johnson ICYMI
@@ThatGreenGuy85 good point. I was born in 85, been an Eagles fan my whole life. Drafting receivers has never been our thing. IMO Desean Jackson is the best receiver they've drafted in my lifetime. (Obv Carmichael for previous generations) Devonta looks like a really good player but other than that they've needed to trade for or sign productive wide outs
Reid picked Watkins, not Howie.
Mario Williams had a better career than Reggie bush anyway, joe thomas a legend Brady Quinn was a bust. Jake long was good before the injuries
Accuracy in the pocket is one of his issues. Umm yeah as a quarterback that’s an issue and a big one!
I think had manziel and Tebow been used right, it would have been another story. I would have used them not as an every down qb but just an option, maybe in 3rd down situations and trick plays. Both guys were great runners and good at making something out of nothing. But they were anomalies at qb, definitely not going to have either guy run your offense which is why they failed
Tebow maybe. Manziel was too stupid and immature to be useful in any way.
If Tebow had the right coach he’d be used like Taysom Hill. Could have made a great gadget player but I think at the time he was either fully committed to playing quarterback or the league in general just looked down on using a quarterback like that
You don't pay NFL QB to be gadgets
Clelin Ferell should've been in here... that to me is CLEARLY the most wtf pick from that draft. Me and everyone I knew watching that draft were so confused on why they took him in the first round, let alone in the top 5.
Video would be better if we knew why they were shocjk picks and who was the expected selection.
8:10 Cue the airhorn!
2019 shocker was Clelin Ferrell by the Raiders.
We knew Alex Smith and Mario Williams were going to be the first picks before the drafts started. Not shocking at all haha
Joe thomas is a top 100 player
There was nothing even remotely shocking about the Bucs picking Jameis 1st overall in 2015
Eli Manning a.k.a. Brady´s kryptonite.
In 2006 they signed Williams prior to the draft so not sure how that’s a twist
Obviously they did everyone does but the fans dont know, everyone thought it would be Reggie Bush or Vince Young
@@alexovechkinsgolfbag1591 but everyone didn’t think that because he was signed before the draft. So at the draft there was zero surprise he was #1
@@austinp9348 bro everyone signs their first overall pick before the draft they just dont tell anyone, the Bengals sent Burrow the playbook like 4 months before the draft
anyone remember when the raiders took Alex Leatherwood
Jameis Winston was not shocking lol he was the consensus first overall pick going into the draft that year
Yeah no the person who made this list is on crack
Same with Alex smith. Same with Mario Williams. Joe Thomas was a good and expected pick. Half of this video is just regular picks and expected picks. 😂
trading up a pick only to draft mitch tribusky with one of the greatest qbs ever in the same draft is the worst draft move ever and it ain’t close
This video is a great idea but you need to remind the fans who the Giants could have drafted instead of Daniel Jones, etc.
How funny is it that the first team in the video is the raiders but it did turn out to be a pretty good pick
Trubisky? Trubisky!
This list could just be every QB the Browns have taken.
I'm surprised Jalen hurts wasn't on here. Kinda in the same category as Danny Jones and Jordan Love only Rodgers and Manning were getting old. Carson Wentz fans still were hoping he could work out and he was much younger. In hindsight, that's probably Howie rosemans best draft pick ever, but it sure shocked us at the time.
Still amazing to see a 28 year old being drafted, at all...and in the 1st?!!
Goes to show fans literally know nothing - Joe Thomas and Jake Long were two of the best players in this clip, and at their position for a long time, and they both got booed. Just because it's a "boring" pick, doesn't mean it's a bad one. And they cheered for Manziel LOL.
Lot of Browns and Giants in this 😂
The Browns dominated this video.
Eli being picked by San Diego was not shocking though. Sure, Eli may have said he wasn't going to sign there but San Diego made it known before the draft they were still going to pick him. Much like how the Colts took Elway even though he said he wasn't go to sign there.
Alex Smith was also not a shock. He was hyped as being a 1st overall ptospect while at Utah.
Yup. I was thinking that too. Mario Williams wasn't a shock either. Sure, Vince Young and Reggie Bush were the two everyone thought should be in contention for #1, but it was not a closely held secret that the Texans wanted Williams over those two.
Rodgers was also hyped as the #1 overall. And yes Smith being chosen was a shock because SF was #1 and Rodgers grew up a 49ers fan living in California. Most people assumed Rodgers would be taken.
It's kind of hard to call half of these "shocking" - at least shocking at the time the picks were made.
Oh shit secret base!
This might as well be called “Browns Draft History.”
That 2005 #1 overall pick EVERYONE had Aaron Rodgers going first and they go and take Alex Smith, Rodgers slides all the way to 25th and Jesus Christ. As a Cowboys fan, I'll never forgive San Fran. That guy just murdered us like it was a part time job
Funnily enough, Rodgers is no longer in GB and you still got murdered by his successor.
@@chriskay1449 murdered does not even begin to describe that mayhem. Sad day for a cowboy fan. We already have resigned ourselves to the fact that Green Bay is about to become a dynasty again.
dude a lot of these weren't surprises mario williams signed the day before same with jake long.
everyone wanted Reggie Bush to go ahead of Williams. Ironically Mario had the better career.
Raider nation
Daniel Jones was by far the biggest reach, he wasnt even looked at in the second round much less 6th overall, heyward bey was at least considered a bottom first to second rounder
Wasn’t Jake long signed a few days before the draft? I don’t remember it as being shocking
It wasn't shocking. It's on a list like this because of who Miami didn't take, which was Matt Ryan. People seem to think Ryan was this consensus lock drat pick at the position but he wasn't.
I think the most shocking of 2021 was Trey Lance
Most of these were not shocking at all, were the obvious pick that everyone expected, and had much more shocking ones, like Alex Smith was guaranteed to be the #1 pick but Aaron Rogers falling to the Packers was a truly shocking moment when they had Favre, no one expected that
Wrong. Alexa Smith was not guarnateed to be the #1 pick. IN fact, many people thought ROdgers would be taken because he grew up a fan of the Niners and was from California. Also, everyone assoiciated with the decision admitted they went back and forth on it before Mike Nolan decided on Smith because he thought Rodgers was too cocky and arrogant.
2019 you could have gone with no.4 pick Clelin Ferrell
Daniel jones was way more shocking even though ferrell was worse
Texans take c.j stoud at 2
And trade up to get anderson at 3
Most shocking trade up since years
And guess what? It worked for them.
A good amount of these picks were legitimate needs at the time. Not sure why they're in a video about shocking picks.
Jake Long at #1 to Miami wasn't shocking. We just have the ability to look back now and know Matt Ryan had a great career. But Ryan was far from some sure thing in the scouting community.
I think i picked it cuz it was a bozo draft but idk i made this like 3 years ago
@@alexovechkinsgolfbag1591 I liked the video!
I mean some of these weren't surprising at all
Imagine forfeiting a top 10 pick because you forgot to pick 😂skoL
The Eli Apple pick still annoys me
Alot of the "surprise" picks that you put in this video weren't surprise picks at all. A surprise pick, when it comes to the NFL is one that none of the analyst saw coming or stated was going to be chosen. A number of times, the analyst would mention the player drafted was a possibility. Maybe it was a surprise for you who made the video. Put that in the headline instead of making it out to seem every pick was a legitimate surprise. Very disappointing. Thumbs down
Too many #1 overall picks, especially the teams that didn't really need a quarterback at that point. Plus Ja'Marr Chase for the Bengals despite the experts saying that they needed Penei Sewell.
