First of all we had two picks, but anyways...
First you have to draft a guy thats you would want to keep for 10-12 years.
Then you have to get by injuries,
then you have to settle on contracts with that player.

The chance of keeping any player for 10-12 years is small to begin with.
Winning a Superbowl this year and having Randy put us over the top is pretty Good.

If you're referring to his "character," I'm not buying it. One of the few negative quotes was that "he doesn't try when he's on a bad team." That's probably true. It is also irrelevant when you have a good team. For the Indy's, SD's and NE's of the world, it shouldn't have been a factor.

If you're referring to the salary, then I see your point, if it is in fact true that he wouldn't have reduced it for any other team.

Do you have a new version of the CBA? You cna't lock up a player for more than 5 years, unless he is a top 16 pick.

And even then it's only 6 years, which hasn't changed since the last CBA was negotiated in 1994.

You can get at least 5 years from a draft pick, we'll get one out of Moss. Not worth it.

hindsight is 20-20 and so i would argue that the prospective risk in March was too great to spend a #1 pick.

as for the question whether, knowing what we know now, would we give a #1 for a guy Moss' age who might lead the league in receiving this year, i'd say no because a #1 is an investment in a long future. #2? yeah, maybe. #3? for sure.
