Was it defiantely a second round pick? Cause it'd be great if it was conditional. He hasn't played all that great.
Also, with James doing almost nothing before being cut does Minnesota still get the seventh round pick?

They gave up a seventh round pick for James if he made the roster, which he did.
So, counting Jason Taylor's trade, that's THREE DRAFT PICKS for ONE SACK.
Brilliant, Vinny. Just brilliant.

No, that's not what this is about. We needed bodies if nothing else. I was just hoping it might drop down to a third or fourth for Taylor.

Taylor and James are both good players we should be blaming Blanche and the D line coach for not using them right. Not Vinny for taking a chance trying to help us win.

James is gone. Cut for OL help.

Yup, at the time I thought we got a great player and at a bad price. Now I think we got a washed up and one-dimensional player at an absolutely awful price. We got hosed.

You have to give Dan and Vinny credit for being consistant ,,, 2 picks for Loyd , 2 for duckett , 4 for JC , 3 for Rocky , 2 for M. white , 2 for Kendall and 2 for L. Coles .

We got hosed.I would say that Bill Parcells knows a little more about selecting personnel to build a winner than Vinny. The fact that he made it no secret that he wanted rid of JT should have been a red flag for all takers. The Tuna schooled Cerrato on this one.

Taylor in hindsight was a bad move, at the time I admit I liked it though.
Now I'm wondering what that pick could have been. A starter along one of the lines would have been real nice.
How many picks are we down in this draft now?
