Perhaps he is suggesting that since Jarmon was a 3rd round draft pick that Gaffney for a 3rd is ho hum?

PS...I like Gaffney!
and...I do think Jarmon has potential on a 4-3

That may be but in the big scheme of things, to me personally, I don't care if our production comes from 1st rounders or from UFAs as long as there is production and the skins are successful. One possible argument is that for a certain pick there is a certain salary and therefore certain expectations -- problem is, I don't care, I'm not paying that guy's salary and whether or not they pay some guy an outrageous signing bonus is not going to make an appreciable difference in my life.
