[QUOTE="porky88, post: 178147, member: 489"] Only one other team actually pursued Charles Woodson and it was Tampa who felt he should become a Free Safety. A lot of people believed he was overrated and to injury prone to be relied on in the NFL. Most scouts thought safety was the way to go an that maybe he could revive his career there. Ryan Pickett had only 3 other teams go after him and most teams didn't really believe he was a great defensive tackle but a okay one. Green Bay, Buffalo, and St. Louis were the teams. I recall a lot of people crying out for Grady Jackson at that time instead of Pickett. It's very hard to locate and sign good talent in the NFL. Joe Johnson was a major bust. He was considered the best defensive player in free agency in 2001 I believe. Sherman went after him and gave him top dollar and it didn't work out. Other teams could of probably offered more but they didn't. I wonder why? I agree the jury is still out but so far the jury looks pretty good to me. 5-1 with the youngest team in football and plenty of cap to spend though unlikely he uses all or even most of it. The Packers are 5-1 and we know they aren't playing up to their potential. That's saying something. The Drafts are producing so far so good. Three Drafts and we have plenty of starters from them. I'll take that. [/QUOTE]
