Yeah I remember being really down about missing out on the trade up for Lynch and then Cook. Pretty crazy that after all of that we may have gotten an even better QB.
Agreed. It was from one high to a low on that day. To be so excited about hearing how Wentz was likely to be our pick, then to finding Philly traded for the 2nd pick and was going to take whover LA didn't, to hearing about likely trading up for Lynch, to having Denver come in right before us, to settling for Dak at the time.
It just felt like one massive kick in the nuts after another. I'll admit I didn't know much about him at the time but what I did hear wasn't necessarily good and sounded like a disaster in the making given our track record with drafting and developing QBs.
At that time I was pissed because of how close I thought we were to landing a "franchise" QB only to later realize we got one with the DeMarco comp pick.
The more I've read up on the kid, to going back and watching his highlights and games, to finding out about his Mom and what she went through, to finding about his will to be the best, hell, I was sold and the ride since then has been nothing short of amazing.
