AP could turn into the next LT2. Or he could just be an avg starter on an average team. We'll know in 5 years.

The NFL teams that pick at slots 1.2 through Mr. irrelevant continue to survive, even though they didn't get the "best" player. They're ALL really really good at this point. These teams are spending millions on these players based on college level performance and a belief in potential.

Who pans out from a fantasy prospective? :Shrug None of us know.
Mutts actually offered me the same pile of picks for 1.1, and I declined.

I turned 1.1 into a salary dump for Lamont Jordan who was going to be cut,
and added Chambers which allowed me to free up more $$ by including Gonzo.
Shawn Alexander is an ok RB, also.

Brian turned 1.3 into a handful of prospects at all positions, building a foundation of young talent.
Mike turned Alexander and Chambers, plus a willingness to be a garbage man, into AP, plus a TE not named Vernon Davis to start. (Yah, I know he's $700 too much, Mike....:Bla )

For next year and also long term, which of these 3 teams made the right call? I dunno. Thats the fun of this stuff. If everyone valued players evenly, this would be incredibly boring. Instead, the 1.1 pick AND the player chosen at 1.3 both changed teams this year. Thats a good thing for SAC'D...:toast:
