I don't have that time any more. <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" data-shortname=":)" /> The very specific complaint, and phrasing matters, is we didn't get value from the pick in 2020/2021.  With as close as we came to the Super Bowl, that is a legitimate gripe.  I'm also not going to say that a different pick would have assured us that Super Bowl, just that some on the field production could have been enough to overcome the small margin of defeat.  Might has still failed, but the perception needs to be overcame.In the absurd, maybe we picked an off-the-ball linebacker who absolutely busted as a defender, but turns out is an EXCELLENT punt-team guard.  We likely easily beat the 49ers in 2021 w/o the blocked punt.</blockquote>
