In hindsight, we could have just stayed pat with BPA and have taken Sam Baker. BPA being the player the lowest probability of not busting

But for all you all who would have said "BUT WE ALREADY HAD CHRIS SAMUELS" fellas who would be shocked at drafting for the future, I think 2009 showed why apparently irrational decisions are actually very rational.

Also, we could have done a better job of ignoring "need", which in this case was "Size at WR" and instead took the "playmaker" least likely to bust REGARDLESS OF SIZE.

Fred Davis was a good decision, IMO.
