Flashback: Arrington vs. Brown: who do we draft?

[jdlea]

That's funny, I remember the Skins being happy that the Browns took Courtney Brown and not LaVar. They wanted LA all along.

What would you expect the Redskins to say after they took the #2 and #3 players in the draft? Do you really think it would be even remotely possible for them to say:

"Damn! What we really wanted was Courtney Brown but we got screwed by Cleveland and we had to settle for stale leftovers or sloppy seconds."

HIghly unlikely! That hardly fits with flying the guys into FedEx on helicopters so there could be a huge press conference with Danny Boy front and center. Oh, do you remember that Danny Boy said at that time that Redskins never hold out and are never late for training camp. Well DAnhy Boy did, And well, Lavar was "late".

Like I said, there's a lot of revisionist history goin' on here...
