That's not the point.

If you're going "re-draft", tell us all right now who would be a better value at a need position than Pouncey to the Bucs?

McCoy has been a disappointment and compared to Pouncey, he's a MAJOR disappointment.

If my team needed a center and a pass rusher and I absolutely knew without a doubt that if I chose the pass rusher, I'd get four Pro Bowls out of him versus ten with a center in the same spot, I'd take the pass rusher.

The problem is that no one ever truly knows for a fact before the draft. That's why a hindsight re-draft like this is interesting.

Again, it's the Post-Draft value that's important.

Can see that point. But I would still take berry over thomas. And no center top three lol

For this team? Absolutely.

As I mentioned earlier, if you're looking at this "Re-Draft", do you take Dez Bryant and Nate Allen (a much better fit for this defense than Earl Thomas) or do you take Berry & McCluster?

I don't think Earl Thomas was even on the Chiefs radar because his particular skillset doesn't fit Romeo's defense.

And if this were 2009, I'd be absolutely thrilled with Pouncey over Jackson.

Talking about Jackson, I wonder if he will make any impact in this game.

Remember, he played quite well in the last matchup till he got hurt.

True. That was a really solid 3 minutes of play.

Your implication is that he played well due to the matchup, which is no longer the same since McNeil returned.

Jackson looked "decent" in two quarters out of 112. It's not likely that he returns to that form on Sunday, although it would most certainly be welcome.

Jackson is a LDE, McNeil has nothing to do with his specific matchup in that game. My use of "matchup" was more due to the teams matchup rather than the individual player matchups, though.

In those 2 quarters, he got like 6 tackles and played a role in getting the lead and limiting their running game.
