Damn right I wanted Geno. Especially considering what we have and what we ended up with. You'd have to be freaking reeruned to have not wanted Geno all things considered.
Okung is one of the best left tackles in the NFL. He absolutely destroyed people this past season and was the starting LT in the Pro Bowl for the NFC. If we picked Okung, it would have been early enough in Alberts career that moving him over to LG wouldn't have been such an issue and we would have been past the stage of picking a major question mark/potential RT backup like Fisher with the #1 overall pick in the draft.
Curry...eh. The guy had everything you could possibly want in a future All-Pro linebacker...physically. I don't know what got into that guys head, but it wasn't conducive to football.
And you're a moron if you are basing your assumption of a players performance on his draft status alone. Stephenson was a better tackle than Lane Johnson on the same team. Stephenson goes in the third round and Johnson was a top ten pick. Joeckel wasn't as good as Matthews on the same college team and I'd bet a dollar to a doughnut that Matthews won't go #2 in the draft.
