The Skins offseason cycle is in full swing. They get all the best picks, they land the best free agents, and then someone dies and the bright future suddenly comes crashing back to the reality that they are probably going to win somewhere between 6 and 10 games and not matter in the playoffs if they make it.
It’s crazy to think that if the 49ers hadn’t jumped at him that the Saints were planning on grabbing him (Sean Payton has confirmed this). Thank you, John Lynch.
I know right?
I remember right after the draft, that little tidbit was up in the news, and Niners fans were slapping each other on the shoulders congratulating the little coup John Lynch pulled off while Saints fans were mildly upset about the fact.
Fast forward two years, it’s become clear that the Niners badly bungled their 1st round pick while the Saints’ reluctant alternative, ‘Mr. 1st Round Irrelevant’ Ramczyk has become a reliable cornerstone in their O-line.
Looking back on 2-year, 3-year old 1st round drafts is always interesting.
It’s the reason why I tried to find the reactions for the previous drafts.
I’m gonna be honest. At first glance I was wondering why you drew yourself as the devil.
It’s probably supposed to be Snyder
I know it’s Snyder. Apparently Dave draws Snyder similarly to himself.
Maybe Dave is secretly Snyder.
Maybe Einhorn is Finkle?
Welp, he was secretly Eli for some time ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I’m still shocked you didn’t do an Alex Smith comic considering how weirdly creepy the coincidences were to Theismann

Said coincidences mentioned in the comments. I assume Dave wasn’t aware of them when he was making the comic at the time.
