I think we need to scrap this philosophy..we're not building a Church choir here, it s a football team...guys like Chris Long, are just not worth a 2nd overall pick, just b/c hes a good guy...im not saying bring in thugs, but this management seems to be more interested in nice guys then real football players..

Re: 4 Pillars
Yep, you're right, because the Rams were the only team that had Long in the top 5 players available .... -
Re: 4 Pillars
I dont know if you are being sarcastic, but if you are youre an idiot..he was borderline top 5 pick..and we clearly took him because he was squeaky clean...and hes just one of many examples...Comment

Careful, your facts will get in the way of his carefully planned argument."I've been saving the Universe for over a thousand years. I figure it owes me just this once."Comment

Just as an aside...I mean really nothing major but...
According to Scouts Inc in 2008 Chris Long was one of the top players in the draft...

Just curious though.... with hindsight 20/20 who should we have drafted with the number 2 pick of the 2008 draft?Comment

Re: 4 Pillars
Ummm, no. You can believe that if you'd like, but he was widely anticipated to be a solid top 5 pick, and many pundits thought he could go #1 overall. There were even reports that Miami was going to take him #1 overall if they couldn't come to an agreement with Jake Long.Originally posted by kman View PostComment

Matt Ryan, perhaps?Comment

Re: 4 Pillars
Behind this offensive line? No thanks. Wouldn't want to do that to him (or us)."I've been saving the Universe for over a thousand years. I figure it owes me just this once."Comment

Re: 4 Pillars
Hindsight is 20/20 but we werent in the market for a QB at the time..we needed DE help and that is what we got.Comment

Re: 4 Pillars
What are the character issues that revolved around Matt Ryan that precluded us from taking him, again?Comment

Re: 4 Pillars
So just to clarify, in the 2008 draft we selected Chris Long, a marginal top-5 pick at best, because we wanted to avoid Matt Ryan's character issues that conflicted with the 4 pillars of the New York Giant's defensive coordinator.
Gotcha.Comment

Re: 4 Pillars
I like how you noticed that flaw in his argument also. Congrats.Originally posted by Nick_Weasel View PostComment
