Of course nobody could have predicted what would happen with Taylor but that pick of Landry sure looks even better now.

I definitely agree with what you're saying. I was actually one of those people that said "another safety? We already have S.T.", but as is a lot of the time, in hindsight that turned out to be one of the best picks we've made in recent years. I never would've anticipated losing S.T. that suddenly though, it still hurts to this day and I can easily say I'm still not over it.
I'm not gonna jump on the Dmek is an insensitive a-hole bandwagon even though I don't agree with his comments. Losing someone just like that hurts deeply, it doesn't matter whether I knew him or not, which I didn't. I felt connected to him, almost a superstition of sorts, that if I didn't root hard enough for the 'Skins he and the rest of the team would suffer. It's like when women ask men why they get so excited when we get up and shout, Yesssssss!!!!!!!!! when a player makes a game ending interception to win the game for us.
I still love watching all his videos on Youtube, and I still enjoy looking at all the various pictures and everything on the web. I don't think so much about what could've been as it is celebrating all his accomplishments on and off the field. I wouldn't say not a day goes by where I don't think about him but I do think about him a lot.
