If we do draft Gaines Adams where do we put him?

Everybody wanted Branch but 1. Like me, the coaches know we don't need a DT as badly as a DE and, 2. it turns out Branch is lazy.

I still say they should trade down though.

I think that if Adams hits his potential he will be better than Carter vs. both the pass and the run.

But the point remains that he would be replacing Andre Carter, not helping him. Replacing Carter means 10 million MORE pissed away on top of Archuleta's 10 mil and Lloyd's 10 mil.

We don't have the money to keep wasting. We can't afford to not get SOME return on our 2006 investment. We have to make this Carter thing work.

I don't like it, but its the bed we made for ourselves.
