I can remember fans talking about how Russell and Young were the best things since sliced bread and we should "do whatever it takes to get them" at the time.
Which is another reason I'm not a fan of loosing the draft picks and reaching to get him. 1 pick for one player I'd take him in a heart beat. But as we know thats not how the "chart" works or supply and demand.

Locker was not going #1, not sure why you keep saying that.
And after the combine Newton actually looked like crap, at least when it came to his throwing.
