Nitpicking 101

OK rAGE, lets play this game...Say you are the GM of a team. If you have two corners, who apparently play a position that is of high risk, on one hand...and then on the other hand you have a linebacker, who with an added 10 pounds immediately becomes the best LB in the game. Which route do you go? I know which way you would go in fantasy land...but in reality, why is it that teams who have equal need at both positions, would go with the corner instead. And i dont care who is on my team, if there is a guy in the draft that can put on 10 pounds and be an elite linebacker overnight, i draft him right off the bat. The point i am making is that you see something in Vilma that paid professionals just dont see. I know the guy can be a good one, but the guy will not be Ray Lewis. He may be a Nate Webster...he might be a Zach Thomas...he might be a Chris Bordano. I just dont see how you can make that strong a case for a guy that you know is gonna be around at the 18th pick.
