Well, given the fact that the two firsts were both at the tail-end of the round the value of the two scenarios are virtually identical. I keep hearing "two 1st round picks". They are not much different than two high 2nd rounders.

Once picks are made it is ridiculous to dwell on them. Water under the bridge. I'll guarantee you that anyone truly in the business of football do not equate a player's production to where they were picked. That is fan mentality. You know, those people that "don’t know nearly as much about football as you think."

Pardon me if I find your “guarantee” less then trustworthy. This is where some cross over into the “afraid to criticize” Loomis/Payton that others point out. Your Pollyanish Frozen gif just demonstrates that. If you are too scared to review and criticize the mistakes of the past then they are going to be repeated.
