Shitty draft is shitty.

If Peyton Manning got injured in 2012, and the Donks went 2-14, would they have drafted one of those tackles?
Franklin would still have 2 years left. Clady had just signed a lucrative extension. Even if they traded Franklin away, they'd still be left with starting either their #1 overall pick or Clady at RT for the long term.
That would just be ****ing idiotic.
We weren't in much more of a position to justify that kind of pick. Only difference is our LT had this stigma of everybody wanting to move him to ****ing guard his entire career just because he played two years of guard in college. The rest of his ****ing football career from high school to pros was primarily at tackle, but "NOOO... HE'S A GUARD!"
We had to carve out a hole in the roster exclusively to justify making the pick of one of those OTs.
When you're 2-14, that's a terrible ****ing decision. Your #1 pick from the very beginning doesn't ****ing improve your team at all.
Hell, that's WORSE than the Tyson Jackson pick.
