Kearse signed for 1.95 with Lions. I would've liked to have him back for that.
It's a shame we couldn't keep him. That is cheap.
Zimmer trusted Sendejo more....says something. He flashed at times but wasn't consistent enough to play unless they had no other option.....great ST guy though.
Zimmer isn't always right.
Nobody is. More right than wrong about the secondary ... sure, more than a lot of people.
Was he right when he picked Waynes 11th overall or Barr 9th overall? You can make a case that he could have done a lot better than Alexander at 54th.
In hindsight, which is as broad a critique as saying that someone isn't always right.
I myself don't second guess draft picks TOO MUCH because there is so much risk involved, i.e. Treadwell and Kalil were 'good' draft picks that absolutely didn't work out. Happens to everybody. There are picks I like and don't like but you really don't know if it's a 'good' pick or not for a year or two.
Also, last I checked, Zimmer doesn't have final say on draft picks. I'm sure he has major input through the process into the 'final consensus' that Spielman is always touting ... but there are others feeding their voice into that.
This is not to excuse Zimmer (or Spielman) – I have a lot of problems with Zimmer. A lot.
Heck yeah... like when the Bears drafted Bob Sapp in the 3rd. I thought he'd be a star but was a bust. Then the Vikings picked him up. He's was into boxing, kickboxing, MMA, etc.
Thanks for making me wikipedia Sapp (who I had no recollection of):
"He spent two seasons with the Vikings and only played in one game. Afterwards, Sapp was left in poverty due to his economic advisor having committed fraud on him, and was forced to work at a funeral home moving coffins to make his living. He eventually decided to pursue a career in professional wrestling by advice of his friend Mike Morris, who saw a chance for Sapp on it."
That blurb alone is worthy of a Netflix mini-series.
*All this time I thought you had to have a specific knack or something to work in a funeral home. Forced coffin-moving labor is just wrong.
It would be a good series! Also, I just skimmed it but I think Wiki said he'd intentionally lose matches in the first round, maybe if the common joe wants to shell out $ to 'beat' him or something.
