[QUOTE="supermancc0386, post: 281811, member: 2200"] I agree, he's not too much different than Brad Jones. That's kinda why I wouldn't mind having him. I wouldn't feel bad starting one or the other. May the best man win. As for giving up a pick for him, yeah I don't think it could hurt much. I mean sure if we give up a 1st or 2nd that's probably not ideal. Outside of that, our 3rd rounder will likely (*knocks on wood*) be like an early 4th ect... He's got enough upside and he's young enough I would give up our 3rd to get him with a reasonable contract extension. Really nothing to lose when you think about it. You're getting an NFL ready guy. Whether he is a superstar or not is yet to be determined. He's shown the upside. At worst he's an NFL ready OLB. Not much of a downside. **While checking into his steroids issues, I began looking over his stats. In his first 3 healthy seasons, he posted 39.5 sacks. If that's not enough upside, I don't know what is. In 2008, he had the knee issues and came back in 2009 from the knee issues and battled a foot injury.
