IIRC his mom posted here during his contract negotiations explaining to us he wasn't holding out for more money now he was holding out because his NEXT contract was going to be huge based on his first contract so if you don't get the first one right, it harms the next one.
I remember thinking then, we should have drafted Aaron Rodgers.
He was a good player he certainly was not a bad pick but as Rugby said not a CB and we were stuck with a guy who got his first contract based on being a high pick because he could play CB. Took us a couple of years to figure out he was a mediocre CB but a good safety.
He played very hard I'd rather have a guy get a penalty for yanking someone down by the facemask then just let them score.
That is the classic if we could have that draft over draft though. DeMarcus Ware, Thomas Davis, Derrick Johnson, Aaron Rodgers all picked after him, all guys were at a position of need and all guys discussed heavily on the board. I remember Jeff Gollin was the one who really wanted Ware, I was all over Derrick Johnson and said if not him Rodgers. I wasn't high on Davis he was a converted S but had a great career and has killed us in Carolina.
