Meh, people on here would have lost it if Reid picked him, claiming typical "we're smarter than everyone else mantra"

"Sherman is a size prospect with some good intangibles that will help him mold into a contributing backup corner for a press-heavy team."

So many players we could have had in that draft

Kaep, Rahim Moore, Torrey Smith, Muhammad Wilkerson, Randall Cobb, Justin Houston, Jerrell Casey, Dick Sherman.

These ITYS posts are the worst! Every year there is always someone that you missed or could have been better. Reid made some shitty picks (especially on D), but he also made some great picks. Were you clamoring for Trent Cole in the 5th round? He drafted Lito and Sheldon when alot of other busts were taken. He also got us Shady, Maclin, Foles, Desean and Cooper. They didn't do do too bad this year and Foles could be a potential franchise QB. That pick alone could set this franchise up for the next decade if it pans out.

Dont get me wrong

Reid had some good finds and good drafts during his tenure. In fact, 2012 looks like it could turn out to be a great draft. But 2011 was just awful. Many of the weaknesses the team has had the past 2 years could have been fixed in that draft alone, but he missed on everyone. When a guy like Sherman makes the play he made yesterday, looking back at that 2011 draft is a natural thing to do

I didn't post it as an ITYS. I posted more just because I heard on TV that he was a 5th round pick and I was amazed as I thought he was a high draft pick so I was curious to see who the Eagles picked instead of him. Also because Ive heard so much about the Earl Thomas/Graham pick in 2010 but you never hear about them passing up Sherman even though they did so SIX different times.

Then I checked and saw the players they took over him. It made it even worse.

Just was wondering if folks were even aware of who we took instead of Sherman since I've heard the Graham/Thomas thing too many times to count.
