kika applies pressure...

Lou Brown: I thought you said we didn't have any high priced talent.
Charlie Donovan: Forget about Dorn, he's just high priced.

That's how I feel about Jordan, and BTW let's not pay Hicks a dime because I don't see anything worth paying.

I don't relish being "right" about things like this because, first of all, I want our players to succeed, and second, every draft pick is somewhat of a crapshoot. You can't really take credit one way or the other for predicting anything.

But I did rip the Saints for picking Hicks that year, and it resulted in probably the biggest backlash of anything I've ever said on here. I remembered his recruitment to LSU and his subsequent release from the program before playing a down. He was an ok prospect at the time, but nothing special was said about him. Then he goes to some place in canada, does alright, and suddenly he's a third round pick for us... Our only pick in the first three rounds of that draft. I was not real pleased. But I really hoped everyone who blew up on me would be right.

Still hoping.

Yeah, and then he woke up.

Agree. Save money for Armstead extension.
Btw. Walker is playing great in Detroit.
