Quote:I live in Rochester and I too cant stand the city. But as far as missing out on Vernon, it could be a blessing in the long run if it forces us to draft a pass rusher who developes into a great player. Last year we made out in not signing Cobb. Saw the emergence of The Allens.


Sometimes the best moves in free agency are the moves you dont make.


I do feel disappointment in not pursuing Irvin, however.

 

 

Good point.  Plenty of times things worked out for us when it didn't appear it wasn't what we wanted.

 

I don't think we end up with Bortles had Blackmon not had his issues.  We might have won another game or two if his head is on straight, just enough to put us out of range for Bortles. 

 

TC originally wanted Curtis Enis in 1998 and tried to trade up to get him.  He wasn't able to pull off the deal and stayed at 9 overall (thanks to Buffalo trading for Rob Johnson), the guy we wound up with?  Fred Taylor.
