All it explains is that Jim heard someone in the organization comment on how the Rams were surprised to see Felix Jones dropping. The post suggests that the idea that we were considering taking him was speculation by Jim and not his source. We don't even know the context in which the topic even came up. As far as value goes, all it tells us is that we seem to have had Felix graded higher than he was taken; it doesn't tell us anything about the value we placed on Avery.
I just don't see the need to immediately go negative on Avery when the only place he is mentioned in the article is: "Second round pick Donnie Avery was very fast and made some nice catches for a good start."
Anyway, it's good to hear that our guys are off to a good start. Thankfully we're not hearing anyone showed up in worse shape than we thought or looked completely lost out there. Sometimes you do get stories like that.
