[QUOTE="RRyder, post: 848566, member: 10329"] I dont think you realize just how good Derwin James was last year. As a rookie he was a All Pro talent and lined up at every position on defense not named nose tackle. (just take that last sentence in for a moment and let it marinate) And yes in today's NFL a dynamic Saftey is worth more. Theres a reason that Thomas and Chancellor where worth more to the Legion of Boom then Sherman and it's not because Sherman wasnt great (also Troy P was a DPoY. Dont try underselling him) I'm simply not comparing the two and then adding in Savage. I understand that it also netted Savage but at the time what it would turn in to wasnt known and since they traded up to get him it's not just a 2 for 1 scenario so I'm not even touching the logistics of sorting through the different scenarios (as an example if we dont make that trade and take James perhaps Gute is more inclined to trade back instead of selecting Gary or perhaps they're drafting 18-20 based on record instead of 12 and still select Savage to be a running mate and use the Amos money to sign a WR or perhaps all the picks and FA signings stay the same and with Amos and James deep center they hit on one of those picks they traded for Savage and now you have an extra prospect at ILB and WR or............ You get my point. Soooooooo many dominos) It's not like I don't love Alexander. Hes on his way to being great. I still would argue that I'd still rather have a All Pro possibly generational Saftey over the possibly Pro Bowl Cornerback. To be clear. I'm not lamenting it. I'm very happy with how it turned out. Still think it couldve ended better. Also my post that was brought up a year later still holds weight in the sense that people who like certain picks love to make grand claims while spouting to the fans that dislike the picks that they should "wait and see". That double standard is still dumb [/QUOTE]
