This place erupted after Dexter was taken, and again when Arenas was taken.
Then, after the fact, people changed their minds - just like after the Cassel trade.
I'd rather have an opinion and be wrong than be a flip-flopper.

This place erupted because we had ZERO confidence in Matt Cassel and from that standpoint the ONLY pick was Clausen after he fell so far, and right into our laps. For all we know, Cassel might end up as a damn good quarterback and in the long term, DMC may end up the easy best pick at that spot. Hopefully, that's the case.
Once we got over that, we started realizing that DMC is one hell of a good playmaker and most of us wanted exactly that before the draft.
Hell, he is looking just as good or better as Spiller and some of you (Im looking right at you OTWP) would have been totally fine with CJ at 5. DMC is essentially a smaller, quicker version that we got at 36. Once we realized that, it was all gravy baby.
