We were over a barrel. We paid a premium because we had to. If you are thirsty in the desert how much do you pay for a bottled water? More than you do anywhere else in the world.
The 2nd was decent in my opinion based on the player we thought we were getting. But we should have held onto the other pick.
The biggest issue was bringing in a guy who simply had no chance to succeed here because he was a round peg headed for a very square hole. In fact the mere thought of replacing a giant behemoth run-stopper with a lithe speed pass rusher seems beyond idiotic to me. Blache should have just walked up to Vinny and kicked him in the balls before he made the deal.
