    Jake Locker was Drafted for Quarterback when everyone knows he's an outfielder.

    Someone last week, I want to say Mel Kuyper, mentioned how he would've been better safety.

    That's why he had Locker #1 overall on his big board for a long time.

    I hope I'm remembering that right; it's possible it was another analyst.

    Kiper had Locker #1 and Mcshay had him #2. The guy they flip flopped him for was this dude named Andrew Luck.

    Did anyone bring up JR Sweezy as an example of someone who was drafted for a different position?

    Or were they good and not want to keep going?

    Sweezy was the first name brought up. Kim's response:

    "So you're going to equate Shaq to the situation of a 7th round draft pick.......
    Do I really need to explain things or are we good?"

    Then the poster gave another example. Kim's response:

    "Do I need to explain the difference between a 4th round and first round pick?
    There's not a GM in the league who will draft Shaq to play RB. But if you'd like to make a wager, I'm in ;-)"

    and finally:

    "I do this for a living ;-)
    I'm still open to the wager "

    At this point, someone else said something along the lines of Kim being able to text John Clayton to ask him.

    Kim responded with
    "Or I got a call saying " who the hell is (original poster's name)?"

    Richardson was selected 45th with the intention of making him a kick returner. In college he had as many combined kickoff returns/punt returns as he did touchdown passes: 1.

    The Seahawks also had that college bball player from Bradley about 10/15 years ago. And Antio Gates and Stephen Neal have had solid NFL careers despite not being drafted for their primary positions (power forward and wrestler).

    If I wasn't banned for life, and I was inclined to post "if you do this for a living why are you so bad at it", would Kim delete that post? I assume yes...

    If you want the full banhammer followed by the staff taking personal shots at you while you can't defend yourself, I would say go for it

    And how about Richard Sherman from WR to CB?

    Do I need to explain the difference between a 5th round and 1st round pick?
