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...

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