Plus the jury is still out on JC. Time will tell whether giving up an extra #1 was the right thing to do. So far, from what I've seen I would not have given an extra number one for him. That's not knocking JC in anyway. I just don't think it's smart doing 2-1 type deals that have been done with JC, Cooley, Rocky, Portis and Lloyd.

Sure free agents are easier to evaluate vs. college players because at least you have tape on them at the pro level and you have a good idea of if they can play at this level, but you still have to factor in whether they are a good fit for your team and system. And that's not necessarily an easy thing as we've seen with some of our FA busts.
