People said, "Who ****ing cares about 2nd round picks? They're second round picks."
They are also draft picks that allow you the agency to pick whatever the **** you want or need. You can justify any non-kicker position drafted with a 2nd round pick. You can't do that with #1 overall. If an interior OL really is the best player in the draft, you can't just take him at #1 overall.
I argued over and over again last offseason after the draft that Dorsey should have given the 49ers the #1 overall pick for Alex Smith if he was going to waste it on a walking AIDS fire like Eric Fisher. People called me crazy for no other reason than, "IT'S THE #1 OVERALL PICK!"
Yeah, it is. I agree it's ****ing huge. So use it wisely... don't just take an undersized MAC conference pussy of a LT when we already had Albert, Winston, and Stephenson on the team. If you are going to take the coward's way out with the #1 pick, you may as well burn it and get your magic Alex Smith that you think is going to save the day.
Instead, we used the #1 overall pick to save about $5 million per year on our LT. THAT'S. ****ING. IT. That's what we used our #1 pick on.
Christ.
