Then after one complete solid season (with a one and out playoff loss) there is a contract dispute and the team is entertaining offers for the player. Good draft pick in terms of talent, but in terms of the positive effect the player has had for the franchise it isn't nearly as good.
it was LJ or Brayton - who DV wanted....it was a great pick, the perfect example of BAA in action...whether or not we resign him has nothing to do with an evaluation of the pick...
