For years, analysts swore that Cleveland taking draft picks instead of Julio Jones was the smart move.

Literally every one of the guys they drafted instead was a bust.

Mangini traded down a lot in 2009, too, but at least he got Alex Mack in the process.

Responses:

See, right there is something to discuss, the symbiosis of the WR/QB tandem. Julio, while truly great, still benefits from Ryan more than he would - crash davis Aug 18, 10:36 2
- Mike Evans and Johnny Manziel at A&M. We know who was responsible for that success now. -- nm - Will Hunting, Ruler Supreme of Blood Feud Aug 18, 10:39 1
  - I feel if Evans was on a Steelers-like team instead of the Bucs, he and not Antonio would be the consensus 1st pick -- nm - crash davis Aug 18, 10:41
It's also one reason the RG3 trade wasn't quite as bad in hindsight...the Rams didn't launch shit from it. - Will Hunting, Ruler Supreme of Blood Feud Aug 18, 10:36
Right, the one year they managed to get paid for Sammy Watkins, they turned the picks into Justin Gilbert and Manziel - Will Hunting, Ruler Supreme of Blood Feud Aug 18, 10:35 1
- Justin Gilbert is one of those guys where you basically had to not follow college football to draft him. - David Aug 18, 10:37
