[SAUTO]

So would you trade them?

Berry was a better choice for the Chiefs and their defense but Earl Thomas has been nothing but solid for the Seahawks.

What?

What kind of twisted, misguided question is this and why are you asking me this question?

You know, I like you but I'm tired of your line of questioning. It's completely senseless, Dude.

Furthermore, I bet you can find hundreds of post where I chronicle Berry's improvement over the course of the season. I don't recall seeing even one post by you about Berry.

No offense, just telling it like it is, Dude.

Wow ok. I said I wouldn't trade berry for thomas. You quote it and disagree. Then you agree with milk man that he's better for us. So would you trade them? If not why call out my post? And ftr I don't believe a center is worth the third. But il remember that come draft time

First off, I didn't "call out" your post. You claimed that none of these player discussed have been worth their "re-draft" status.

I countered with information that maybe you weren't aware of to you help you understand why Gosselin chose the way he did.

Pouncey has the makings of Dermotti Dawson, a perennial Pro Bowler. He's been dominant in a defensive heavy division and has been the Steelers best lineman. They're currently 9-3, BTW. Earl Thomas has 64 tackles and 5 INT's for a 6-6 division leading team and has been doing everything asked of him for their scheme.

If those aren't reason enough for you to consider why they'd be highly touted, I don't know what to tell you.

The purpose of a "re-draft" is to asses the current level of play by rookies and based on their level of performance, re-slot them based on that value. If you disagree, please explain why you disagree. Don't just say "This is bullshit" or "This guy's an idiot" or any other predictable, non-informed remark.

And if you want to play "that game", I can tell you that while I wouldn't advocate taking a center at #3 overall, I'd certainly take Pouncey over Tyson Jackson.

At the end of the day, it's about the player's performance, not where he was drafted, as evidenced by this "re-draft".
