Whitlock was right about Sims

I contended all along that I would have taken Sims if he were there otherwise I would have probably taken Dante Stallworth. There was enough good quality there that the trade up didn't make a lot of sense. Looking at our pitiful WR corps Stallworth would be a very welcome addition right now.

Yep true..Stallworth would be a great addition right now. But hindsites 20/20. I guess the feeling was Sims had more upside than Stallworth? Sims is ok...and will probably play in the NFL for a long time.....maybe not with us...but clearly was not worth a 6th pick.
