Did we make a mistake drafting Darius Butler?

[PATSNUTme]

I will be honest and say that Jarius Byd was on my draft board in the second round. I like what little I saw of him and and what I read about him. And Butler was a possible 1st rounder if we didn't take Matthews.

Having said that, no matter how much time I put into the draft, BB and his staff should know 90% more about these players than I do.

How is this thread still going?

Maybe it could be kept on the front page as a tribute to inane smallmindedness?

Bye week, slow news time, sharpens everyone's analytical skills...plus it's fun to read some of the responses

Don't worry, it is bound for the Practice Squad at some point.

But this is like saying you wish the Patriots could've had drafted Louis Delmas instead of Patrick Chung who was selected before Chung.

This thread is fascinating from a psychological point of view. It's like Faces of Death IV.

Will everyone pleeeeeeeeeease let this thread die?

It's so stupid it's mind-numbing.

The O.P. raises a fascinating question, and brings another to mind:


Matt Cassel threw for back-to-back 400 yard games in his first season as an NFL starter. Tom Brady has never done that. Plus, Cassel is the younger player!


Why the hell did we keep Brady over Cassel?

Why the hell did we keep Brady over Cassel?

I can answer this. It's simple really. Although Cassel has a hot wife, she's no Gisele. BB clearly decided to keep the QB who had the hottest wife, not the hottest arm

but i would have liked James Laurinaitis ILB on pace for 100 tackls at pat chung's spot

On pace for 100 tackles in a defense that can't get anyone off the field. MLBs get tons of tackles on bad defenses.
