The Solomon pick was, at the time, labeled the safest pick in the draft. High motor, high character, smart kid. Almost all the mock drafts had him going to us including ESPN. Don't be history revisionists. It was deemed a smart, widely accepted pick at the time.
The Foster pick was unanimously labeled the steal of the draft and early on we thought it too. He had Pro Bowl written all over him.
Sometimes picks don't work out. Sometimes people flake out. That's the name of the game. Do I wish they would both have turned into All-Stars for us? YES!
Am I mad at Lynch because they didn't? No. Neither was a reach or considered, at the time, a bust.
Now moving forward...DO BETTER LYNCH! Let's go!
Nonsense. Their job is to get it right and not pick the Solomon Thomas and Fosters of the draft. You're the one revising history, I'm saying they got it wrong and I expect results and accountability.
Just out of curiosity what did you think of the picks when they were selected?
