If they had Michael Crabtree, maybe they take Justin Houston instead? I suppose that poses the question Crabtree + Houston vs Raji + Cobb ... lol

To be honest, I think it's futile to revisit the draft unless the guy you should have picked is the one you think they should have taken when he was available. People will forever talk about passing on Barry Sanders, because many wanted him to be the pick that year. But I don't recall anyone hoping we'd pick up that Crabtree d-bag, who held out that year longer than any other first rounder, since he wanted top 5 money even though he was picked like 10th or something.

At the time, having just switched to a 3-4, experts agreed and so did I, that Raji was exactly what the Packers needed. He was a decent, if not excellent pick...and we not only don't win, but don't get to the Super Bowl without him. (That may be true of this year as well.)

"Who's got it? BIG B.J. RAJI!"

For the record, the last time the Packers' first pick was someone I didn't like was 2004 with Ahamd Caroll. Sherrod turned out to be a whiff, but I am good with the rest:

2005 Rodgers
2006 Hawk
2007 Harrell (injured)
2008 Nelson (2nd round)
2009 Raji
2009 Matthews (2nd first rounder)
2010 Bulaga
2011 Sherrod (bust)
2012 Perry
2013 Clinton-Deix

I would say that's a pretty solid track record

I'm stlii pissed about passing on Barry Sanders!!!!

[grin1]

Todays NFL, always take the Big Uglies!!!!

They are hard to find.

Raji and Crabtree were both probably rated pretty much the same as far as when to draft.

ALWAYS TAKE THE BIG UGLIES!!!!!

I think Raji would be having a solid season this year if he was healthy. As a result, the entire defense would be better. He likely wouldn't be great, but he would be solid, which would be good enough and valuable for the Packers. Guy like BJ Raji are rare. Wide receivers seem to be easier to find. Look at the wide receiver class this year. I completely understand why Raji was drafted. I still think he will be a solid contributor to Green Bay in the future.

1993 27 carries 169 yards
1994 13 carries -1 yard


Freaking held Barry Sanders to negative yards twice in the playoffs.

I was just so happy we passed on Crabtree and then we pass on Dez Bryant. I love me some Teddy.
