Involved in Hit & Run

Hmmm.....I remember quite a few people wanting us to trade up to draft this guy.

I wasn't a Lynch backer at the time, but his rookie season made it clear that he was talented enough to warrant such a move. And I don't recall any character issues.

I remember there being concerns that Lynch was a bit of a showboat/egocase. Lynch is a good player, but Harrell at least as a good head on his triceps.

I liked him ... didn't think he was worth trading up for. He's a really good back, but there were a lot of whispers about potential character concerns.

Haha ... I still wish we would have went for Leon Hall. He struggled early on last year, but ended strong with 68 tackles, 12 passes defensed, a forced fumble, and 5 int's.

The Cowboys may make a run at him now? Have they made their offer for Ocho Cinco yet?

Don't recall anyone wanting to trade up to get him, but rather wanting to take him at the Packers spot in the draft, which he would have had the Bills not taken him.

He had no character issues coming out of college. To say now that it's a good thing that the Packers don't have him is just 20-20 hindsight.

He absolutely had character issues coming out of college. In fact, that was one of the big knocks against him.

They must not of known he'd be involved in a hit and run.
