thats where I disagree with the draft for need over the best talent available (to an extent) theory. Obviously it depends...but in this case we missed out.

drafting for talent always puts you in position to stockpile and later trade for needs if so inclined, but at least it gives you both options

I've heard that from Bellicheck also, but why would he draft him much higher when he didn't really have to, I doubt he was projected much higher on anyone elses boards, coming out of Michigan

I'm just more thinking out loud...after I saw it mentioned that someone would rather have Rogers over Shawne, or something to that effect
