I now realize that this Landry pick was probably the best thing that this team could do given all of the well documented and discused draft scenaios. If you want an example, here is one of our somewhat most recent C. Bailey and Lavar A. Look at the termoil and unsettled nature that these two positions have left our team. But, I will say this, this offseason looks familar to the one we had back in 05'. And we know how much fun we had back then as fans. Go Skins!

Been a fan since the early 80s. The only person in recent memory who you can say went on to be a star (or stud) on another team is Antonio Pierce. And we didn't even draft him really, he was an undrafted free agent. Champ was a star from day one in the NFL, but we got (in my opinion at least) a star in Clinton Portis.
LaVar is a legend in his own mind only. There is no other player they lost that went on to be a star on another team. The only player we really should have never lost is Antonio Pierce, and maybe Ryan Clark. Ramsey, Arrington, Bowen, Royal, Gardner, McCants, etc-I don't miss any of them. Neither should anyone else.
