Speaking out loud here people. I will say that the "value" is indeed terrific. However, if Matthews turns into a perrenial Pro-bowler, or Dez Bryant becomes the next coming of Randy Moss, will aquiring multiple picks still be worth it? Assuming of course that the Patriots selections don't amount to something worthwhile. The point is, I'd much prefer a stud player, to a couple of Benjamin Watson, Terrence Wheatley, Bethel Johnson types.
Well, duh. "If one works out and the other doesn't, I'd prefer the one that works out!" Kind of circular, don't you think? How about if McCourty becomes the next Revis, Price learns from Holt and surpasses him, and Hernandez turns out to Clark 2.0? Isn't that attractive?
The point is that we simply don't--and can't--know. So why not improve our chances of hitting on a pick by taking seven players instead of two? I'll take Butler, Tate, Edelman, Gronkowski, McCourty, Price, and Hernandez over Matthews and Bryant any day. It just makes good sense.
