As I said, if Avery was the next best on our board then forgive me. It just pains me to see that we were targetting someone else and knew we could have traded back into the round to get Avery later on, much like we did for Burton and Schuening in rounds four and six.
.. We knew we could have traded back into the round to get Avery later on. You're kidding .. right? What do you suppose we would have had to offer to "trade back into the round to get Avery"? The Rams had their pick of any WR in the draft and Avery was the guy they wanted .. Let's wait and see how Donnie pans out before we label him a reach ..
