I was disappointed at first that we didn't pick Travis Jones when we picked Cook. Not disappointed anymore. Very solid player who's made some really big plays for us in his season-and-a-half. [Reply]

Why? I mean, Jones is a decent player and helps to anchor a good defense, but guys like that are fungible. We literally already had a Derrick Nnadi. [Reply]

What was the thinking, though? Nnaddi was already on the roster and Cook was a terrific safety prospect we were fortunate was still on the board (IMO). [Reply]

I hated Nnadi back then (I've warmed slightly, as documented in my posts) and I thought we had a bigger need for a DT than a Safety. I've happily been proven wrong. [Reply]
