Hogs Haven Comment That Made Me Think My Own Thoughts -- Jrhooo

By popular demand, we will spawn new posts and debates from comments made by our readers.

Win McNamee

When jrhooo posted this list of our last eight drafts--one I have seen a million times, as we all have--it just made me sink in my chair. I am not sure why it hit me in such a different way--maybe it is that time of the...NFL calendar for me. Names just jumped off the screen and punched me in the groin. God, I loved Durant Brooks. Hahaha...

I will be doing this more often this offseason, so get used to having your comments scrutinized for possible inclusion in this hard-hitting (and beard-inspired) series. If there was ever a good comment to get this thing started off with, it would be this simple presentation of our recent draft history. There is enough here to have a field day with stories and memories. If you look down the list real fast, it is like flipping through a deck of cards, trying to determine which card you see. Which name do you see? For me, if I do it, I see Dennis Morris. We drafted him in the 6th round in 2010. I am pretty sure I thought he was going to be an All-Pro. Maybe it was because he was our third overall pick? Imagine my surprise when he...wasn't named to the All-Pro team.

Thanks for batting leadoff on this, jrhooo. Don't forget to thank Jesus.
