Have you even seen Laws play? Ellis has just looked good at the Senior Bowl and Combine. Laws had 112 tackles and 4 sacks this year, compared to Ellis's 58 tackles and 8.5 sacks. Laws was the only player on that Notre Dame D and he was unblockable all season long. Just because he doesn't have the hype as Ellis doesn't mean he isn't better then him. There is no guarntee he'd be there in the 2nd round. It's easier to find the Harvey and Groves or the world, it's very diffcult to find a very good DT. When you have the chance and the need, you don't pass it up.
So, in your eyes, you should pay $40,000 for a $20000 VW. Got it.
Sorry, but Laws isn't every bit as good as Ellis. As I said, you are entitled to your opinion, however flawed I may think it is.
Fact is that Laws could have easily been had in the 2nd round by the Lions, who have a ton of needs, only one of which is DT.
