That is the good news...

The bad news is that Tatum Bell was selected by ... Mike Shanahan.

Yeah MS has had some duds, just like any other coach who hangs around long enough

They dumped two duds for a slightly better dud. Of course Matt Millen being a moron helps.

Fact is that even though Denver screwed the pooch, Denver gave themselves a better chance to improve their team beyond just getting Bailey. We got Portis, but denyed ourselves the ability to have a chance to help our team in addition to Portis.

Is it that hard to just say the 2nd rounder didn't work out for them?

I think I already said something about screwing the pooch.

Regardless, the strategy, for lack of a better word, employed by the Skins FO was bad regardless of the end result. A straight-up trade would have been feasible, but they had to give up the pick. I already said Denver screwed the pooch with regards to what they actually got. But, Denver's strategy was better. They gave themselves more chances to get a good player out of their duds. They weren't successful, but they gave themselves more chances.

I guess it was too hard.
