Quote:Monroe wasn't staying here. Me thinks Caldwell knew more about the situation than any of us. When you think about it, for a draft this deep, we got a pretty good deal. Two pick could equal two potential starts for next season and beyond at the expense of a guy that more than likely was already slowly taking things out of his locker

 

Even in a draft as allegedly as deep as this starters in rounds 4 & 5 is likely a pipe dream. I agree that you should indeed try to draft starters even in rounds that late and not be the kinda GM that just "punts" those picks away (like we have had in the past) ....but that said, its a tall order to expect most 4th or 5th rounders to pan out to that level. 

 

Caldwell sold his 5.0 Mustang for the price of a Focus.
