"a good chance that McGahee would've never played a down.."
That isn't even close to the truth. EVERYTHING I saw prior to the draft was that McGahee had made a very suprising & strong recovery, it was just a matter of WHEN, not IF, he'd be ready to play.
Having said that, most everyone was shocked that Buffalo took him because they did have Henry and needed help in other positions and many fans were unhappy about it at the time.
Like someone else said, it wasn't a dig at LJ that they didn't take him, but rather showed just how highly they thought of McGahee. Everyone thought he'd be the #1 or #2 pick in the draft prior to his injury and he was considered an all world talent. Given that they had Henry, they could afford to give McGahee time to heal and now they are damn glad they did. |
