take this for what its worth as well, but in 1988 we had the #3 pick in the draft and traded our #3 pick AND our #3 in the second round to move up ONE SPOT to select Neil Smith who was drafted to play 3-4 5tec lde.
After his first year he was getting slammed in the papers for being a huge bust!
accept it for what it is, an oddly reminiscent comparison of two not so different situations separated by over 20 years.
Could any of you imagine the complete meltdown that would occur here on the Planet if we had done that in this draft?
just WOW
even then they recognized the value of a versatile pass rusher that had the tools to stop the run as well.
