[QUOTE="FrankRizzo, post: 553461, member: 2232"] A) Many others disagree with your assessment there, including many professional journalists who get paid to make such assessments, and who have the opportunity to talk to a wide assortment of NFL scouts. B) I care if they are "talented" enough to warrant first round picks. When we got Woodson in 2006, people laughed because he'd been hurt or crap for 3 years. I loved his upside, which is the natural talent/ability he always possessed which warranted him being worthy of a 1st round pick. Same with Ryan Pickett, who had been a 1st round pick of the Rams 4 years earlier. Sometimes, talented players take longer to blossom, sometimes they don't thrive in a particular scheme, system, environment, or team. But getting "talent" is good. I think Nick Perry and Datone Jones have 1st round ability, just hoping they stay healthy and will put it together. Peppers, whether you think he's too old or not, possesses talent and ability that we have not seen at that position for a long time. That excites me. And that's why I care that we added him and his talent. It worked for the Niners too, adding former first round picks to their program like Donte Whitner, Carlos Rogers, Justin Smith, and Ted Ginn.
