For me it always boggles my mind when teams double dip at positions like QB in a single draft (especially when they’ve got so many other holes to fill on the roster). It strangely sort of worked out for Washington when they did that with RG3 and Cousins in the 2012 Draft but I remember at the time wondering if there was infighting going on in their draft room and that was what led to both guys being drafted.
Also pre-current CBA the fact that some FOs would purposely overdraft and reach for less talented and/or lower positional value players for the sake of saving money on having to pay them their contract value was pretty maddening (and thankfully the current CBA has for the most part put a stop to that nonsense). Charley Casserly basically admitted that he did this when he drafted Mario Williams first overall in 2006 and Hugh Culverhouse was notorious for doing this when he owned the Bucs (it was reportedly a big reason why he antagonized Bo Jackson the way he did and then drafted him first overall anyways after Bo said he would never play for the Bucs).
