Tre White

Marshon Lattimore

Does this mean we resign Lattimore for less than Tre White, even though Lattimore was drafted a lot earlier than Tre was?

What if we had not gotten Lattimore and gotten Tre instead in that same draft? I know we can armchair the draft all day long. Maybe it's not fair. But that's what we can and should do as fans. And it is what it is in terms of the pro production of players from Bama, Ohio St and LSU. We've managed to succeed more than other teams with UDFA players. I think it just proves it's foolish to move up and overpay, unless it's for a Mahomes type of player. Lattimore worked out for us. Why he decided to get involved and get caught with his gun toting posse is beyond me. Maybe we get discount next year?

What if Mahomes fell to us? Lattimore is passed on; Do we move up from 32 and take Tre White or do we take Ramz and wait? What ifs can be interesting to ponder...

... as in an alternate reality that we still wouldn't know the result. But "what is" is the reality and what we have to deal with now. Eyes forward. Let's win us another Lombardi!

20-0 Baby!

Ramz is the real deal... based on where we drafted him, no one wanted him before. This means we could have made different chess moves in the draft. Still can't really complain with the result in that draft.

We drafted Al Woods in the 5th round. We cut him promptly and he managed a 12 year NFL career on the DL.

Since Pace has been gone and Ireland joined the team, our decisions have been mostly spot on. Still don't like moving up with what it costs us.

Yep, we definitely won that trade, even if we've not found a TE (maybe Colonel Trautman) since Graham's exit...

Replacing Graham wasn't gonna be simple, but Damn, there've been some lousy solutions since; though hats off to Hill for being a premier blocking TEh...

What if we were New England fans. We would have had it made for the last 18 years.

Still think we got the better end of the Graham trade.
