You don't think Knighton is a lesser talent than the 1st round DL studs in this class?
I think that taking a guy you have rated lower based on need is a mistake.
Bad strategy.
If they think a stud DT is the BPA at 19 I don't want then to take a lesser talent in FA (Knighton) so they can take a lesser talent in round 1 just based on need. I wouldn't be opposed to Knighton, just don't want it to change the draft strategy.
I'm surprised the pats* didn't recieve a 1st round comp pick for losing their first round pick. Looks like the NFL tried to make it up to them the best they could though, with 4 picks...
There are extremes to everything. Currently, the campaign financing system is broken. Is the customer not a stakeholder closely related to shareholder wealth?
Obviously, corporations and big business do not always act in the most responsible manner.
