I am sorry that doesn't matter, and I think it's a straw man's logic used to justify an already iffy trade. Giving away two future #1 picks and a player only works out if he leads GB back to a SB... if not, everyone involved has egg on their face.

There is no happy medium here.

well, we'll just have to agree to disagree. i think he had a one in nine chance of picking anyone useful with each of those picks. i might be the only one who feels that way. it's just one guy's opinion. and i almost always agree with you.

In the realm of the NFL, it's a big risk, and Parsons already has an ACL injury.... he might be the same guy maybe, but the odds are he's a step slower...plus your injury potential goes up a lot... this I know as fact, having lived it.

We can disagree, but the odds are stacked against it working out now.

this i do agree with. i was looking at it through the eyes of those who made the decision at that time.
with the benefit of hindsight, there is a deeper concern.
