I understand the underlying concept, I just disagree vehemently with paying a premium (draft pick) for it. Perhaps I under-value vet leadership but, realistically, Vrabel will not be here if/when the Chiefs are winners again and neither will most of the players on the 2009 team. This is obviously not as stupid as trading our #12 for Green when we could have had him for nothing in free-agency the following year but it is stupid.
By the way, do you remember the justification for acquiring Green one year earlier?- so he could teach the youngsters and help install the system. Guess what! Green's presence didn't help Snoop Minnis or C. Thomas turn into anything they weren't already- crappy players.
p.s. I'm still wondering what Vrabel is going to enforce.
