[QUOTE="sschind, post: 809499, member: 10247"] On your first point I would have felt the same way. Your healthy guys prepare and start and play for at least a half unless they are running for their lives or something. On your second point its a bit more complicated and I understand all the reasons for sitting him but I still think its more important to start him and play him for at least part of the game. You are right, I couldn't care less about draft position. If every player drafted had a better NFL career than those drafted after him I probably would care but since that is not the case I don't. I sure wish we would have beaten the Lions on December 4th 1988 or even the Falcons on November 6th of that same year. Either one of them would have moved us out of the #2 spot. They also could have lost the last two games that year got the #1 pick and still taken the guy they did. That would have made it 4 HOFs picked immediately after they did instead of just 3. Winning a few more games that year would have given a few other teams a chance to make that mistake. To be fair I had no problem taking Mandarich at #2 and I don't think anyone else did either. It just didn't work out which is the main reason I'm not so hung up on draft position. I know I am picking 1 situation to make a point but my point is the guy you pick matters more than the number of the pick. You can get the #1 pick and still screw it up. On the other hand, to anticipate you next objection, having more guys to choose from is generally better and I can't deny that. [/QUOTE]
