I feel that if JG and GW liked this guy than he will be a solid player. But I also hate the idea of giving up future drat picks!

If we had not given away our picks for this year than we would have not been in this suituation. Next year we will do the same thing and it will be a viscious circle. The therory of trading away future picks ever year and it never catches up to you is not supported by the fact that we have made the fewest amout of picks since 2000.

This was definately not the first time they pulled the trigger a little prematurely in my opinion. They did it with Cooley, who would have still been on the board (in my opinion-what other team wanted a natural H-back besides us?) when we would of picked. I was pissed by the move at the time but when Cooley turned out to be such a monster player, I'm glad we locked him up when we had the chance. Hopefully, McIntosh will provide me with similiar feelings in the future.

I also believe that we were the only team that would have picked Cambell at the spot we did. Basically, I feel that our coaches are great at selecting talent, and I decided not to second guess Gibbs anymore when Brunell had a good season last year - let's not kid ourselves into thinking that any of us know as much as our coaches, but I also feel that they don't have the balls to sit back and wait for a guy to fall to them. When they want a man they get him no matter what - which is why we also overpay in FA.

I guess McIntosh must have been the apple of thier eyes.

OK, you guys should feel free to boo me for that last line.
