The point is, the Leaf selection barely set the franchise back AT ALL. And in the end, the selection of Leaf put them in a position to draft one of the best RB's of this era. To act like it was some kind of franchise-killing debacle is ridiculous.

What does pissing away a #2 pick in 1998 have to do with people not wanting to piss away the #3 pick in 2009? Exactly.
