In 1982, Tampa was stuck between two names (Booker Reese, Sean Ferrell) for the draft. They ultimately decided they wanted Reese as their pick. But due to a communication error by way of speaker phones, the Bucs ended up drafting Ferrell by accident. Later, they traded their first round and second round picks of 1983 to get Reese. Those picks could've been used to draft a high-profile QB (Elway, Marino, Kelly) in next year's draft pick. Ironically, Ferrell would have a decent career while Reese would end up being a draft bust.

With regards to Ken O'Brien over Dan Marino: "Obviously the Jets know something that the people up here don't."

Vikings timing out was hilarious, with the Ravens' flub less egregious.

Yea, I remember the Vikings not getting their pick in in time. It was 20 years ago and It was funny and just about unprecedented.

They were trying to finalize a trade with Bmore who was going to take QB B.Leftwich, but the clock ran out. Suddenly the next 2 teams (Jacksonville and Carolina) jumped ahead of them and made selections (QB B.Leftwich, OT J.Gross) before the Vikings could get their shit together and actually make a selection (DT K.Williams).

And after all these years Kiper is still clueless and people somehow still think his (and others) mocks and suggestions are indicative of anything that should happen over the next few days

I'm sorry, but for no other reason, this was always worth watching Kiper at work:



Nothing, and I mean NOTHING in TV sports quite like the old Kiper Coiffe. A lion's mane even envies that.

Thought it was just one year, but I could be completely wrong.

They do it every year. The Vikings are dumber than shit.
