so lets say whitner isnt a spectacular game changer. lets say hes a solid player who doesnt get burned very often and shows up to play every day. lets say he's good enough that we dont have to worry about our SS for the next 10-12 years. Lets say he makes a pro-bowl or 2 here and there.
Are you going to come here in 2016 and B word that whitner still isnt good enough because we used the #8 overall on him, and that we could have gotten better value?
The amount fof emphasis here placed on so-called"draft value" is pathetic. We got a football player, plain and simple, and from the looks of it early on, a good one. And last time i checked, football players win football games, draft value doesnt.
