The whole point of this is that unless the kid absolutely shits in his helmet in 2009, there's a good chance we could recoup that 2nd round pick by trading him in 2010. There might be a chance we could repeat what the Cowboys did and recoup a 1st round pick.
You all can call JJ stupid, but he has multiple rings directly because of that decision.
There's no way they take Emmitt Smith that high in 1990. The pick from the Saints was perfect.

It is funny how it worked out, because in all likelihood they would have drafted PSU RB Blair Thomas, who was supposedly an elite RB that year and he ended up being a colossal bust.
Still, I don't think it's fair to say that you can't criticize this move because JJ has rings. That would be like someone telling you not to criticize the Cassel trade or Pioli's recent drafting history because he has rings. Most Cowboys fans still consider that JJ's worst mistake, and it could have cost them dearly.
