But in the first one, it seems like you are almost just trying to present your fans with an image that you are?  Honestly, with Philbin running the show, unless Gute gave me specific instructions, I don't see him pulling any healthy starters from the Jets game.As far as draft position, you are right, there are never any guarantees.  However, the odds of hitting on a #5 pick are probably better than hitting on a #18 pick.  I am guessing, that you wouldn't have that #5 pick and call up the team with the #18 and say "hey, doesn't matter to me, you want to swap picks for free?  If nothing else and you are a GM that doesn't value the position that much, as we found out last year, you can make pretty good hay with moving up and down in round one with teams that do value were they pick in each round.</blockquote>
