NFL Tickets
The 2016 NFL Draft certainly lived up to expectations, as it was laden with enough storylines and plot twists to make a soap opera jealous. A number of teams made absolutely baffling decisions that still don’t make sense to the masses. With that in mind, here’s a look at the five biggest mistakes made during the festivities.
5. New York Jets Draft QB Christian Hackenberg In Second Round
Getty ImagesSelecting QB Christian Hackenberg further complicated things at the position for the Jets. New York now has three players who are probably not good enough to start in the NFL, and Ryan Fitzpatrick refuses to take a discount to re-sign.
4. Dallas Cowboys Fail To Overpay For QB Paxton Lynch
Getty ImagesThe Cowboys had a chance to land QB Paxton Lynch by moving up late in the first round, but wouldn't cough up what Seattle wanted in return for the pick. As a result, Lynch is now in Denver, and Dallas has no heir apparent to Tony Romo.
3. San Diego Chargers Select DE Joey Bosa At No. 3 Overall
Getty ImagesPrior to the draft, a number of scouts didn't think Joey Bosa deserved to be selected in the top-10, let alone in the top-three. A number of elite receivers play in the AFC West, which is why passing on CB Jalen Ramsey was a huge mistake.
2. Baltimore Ravens Pass On OT Laremy Tunsil Amid Bong Photo Scandal
Getty ImagesI totally understand the Laremy Tunsil bong photo was concerning. But if the Ravens were going to take an offensive lineman at No. 6 overall, it had to be Tunsil regardless of his red flags.
1. Tampa Bay Buccaneers Trade Up To Select Kicker Roberto Aguayo In Second Round
Getty ImagesWhile I totally understand Tampa Bay's thought process behind drafting kicker Roberto Aguayo in the second round (Bucs struggle to score TDs), I still firmly believe it was incredibly foolish. There's no way he'll reach value where he was selected.
