He is worth a first... at least. His receiving skills are continually developing (he is already top 3). The fact is that TE's that have the speed to beat the zone up the middle are rare. Daniels has that speed.
The point is that we would be extremely happy if any TE we select turns out like Owen Daniels. I'd rather take Daniels (who is a sure thing) over a play with a 25% chance of being a bust.
I would give up my first for a top 5 TE any day.
Imo, Obama becoming president is the best thing that could happen to the GOP. His drunken-sailor spending has brought the party away from the high spending of the bush years, and back to the fiscal responsibility of yesteryear.
People said the same stuff last year when someone leaked the players that were visiting Buffalo. If i recall, he said Stroud was coming to buffalo a day before any rumors.
The private sector crashes... but it has tremendous growth that far outpaces the recessions. I would put my trust in capitalism long before i would put it in our bureaucracy.
