[QUOTE="detroitpistons0"][QUOTE="Wii26"][QUOTE="Espurs117"][QUOTE="Wii26"][QUOTE="Espurs117"][QUOTE="Wii26"]I can see your point makes a lot of sense but Lance Briggs is a proven LB. He does have an attitude. KFrandsen2
Proven, sure...worth a top 10 pick? No.
What are the chances you're going to get someone better at LB in the top 10 better hten Lance Briggs? It's tough to know and it's a chance. Drafts are always chances. Ryan Leaf? That Weike heisman trophy dude? Rob Dayne? It's a lottery for a reason and that's because it's all about luck. Getting Lance Brigg is getting something proven. You know what you're going to get. But with a draft pick you don't know. It can either be better or worse. But I don't think it'll work out "okay". Upside, potential, youth, etc. That's what you get with the 6th overall pick. Sure they will be busts...but you can say the same thing about Briggs. What do I mean? It's simple. He can be the success of the other players around him. Urlacher, Harris, Vasher, Brown, etc. Take Alvin Harper for example. Guy was a great receiver at Dallas..because he had Irvin making him look good along with all the other HOF players (smith, aikman, etc.). Tampa traded a 1st rounder to Dallas for him...huge bust in Tampa. You could say the same about Peerless Price, Eric Moulds made him look good. Traded to Atlanta for a 1st rounder.....bust. Trading a top 10 pick for a "good" player inst a smart thing especially one with an attitude....he aint no superstar. You think the Raiders regret trading Harris and the 7th overall pick for Moss? You just don't trade away your top 10 pick, unless your getting a great superstar with great charisma. Not to mention the skins don't have another pick until the 5th round! Might as well not show up on Draft day if your giving away your top 10 pick.
Makes perfect sense. I'll have to agree.
I agree i also agree with that I agree with all of the above.
