Did you ever stop to think what this team could have been like if we instead went for Nick Barnett? LJ sat the bench for several years on a team that might have been one player away from a Super Bowl run.

Drafting a LT would essentially be legitimizing spending a #17 pick on a guard, and moving a productive left tackle out of position. Drafting a QB outside of Stafford is settling for a pick. Drafting a WR like Crabtree on a team that has 2 receivers playing very good football is something Matt Millen would do.

The only players I can justify sticking around for are Stafford and Orakpo, unless someone makes a huge leap, which is doubtful. Stafford will be gone and we're making a huge assumption that Orakpo will grade as a top 3 calibre DE--I still have doubts as to whether he is.

Otherwise, you're reaching. I would rather reach for a player we need, then stick around for someone we don't need or for someone that's going to push a productive player to the bench. And I would rather trade down and draft the guy we want at the right spot and get extra picks on the side than reach.

#1) I don't want any QB in this draft outside of Stafford before round 5.
#2) We spent a #15 pick on Albert, not 17.
#3) LJ was a Carl pick. If you are really pissed about that pick, you should be pissed that we traded down and took LJ instead of picking Polamalu at 16. Furthermore, assuming that Priest was "busted", and it was a fair assumption, that would have been an even better pick.
#4) I've never argued for drafting Crabtree in the top 5, let alone the top 10. I don't even like him as much as DHB.
#5) You don't reach in the top five.
#6)You don't ****ing reach period.
#7)Trading down to get the guy you want is never a guarantee, the '07 draft should have taught you that with what the Browns did to us twice.
#8) The 2004 draft: We trade down to get the guy we want, Olshansky. He goes one pick before us. So what do we do? We reach to pick a guy we need, a run stuffing DT...Junior cock****ing Siavii.
