Jeremy, having second thoughts?
I would have preferred Reed, and was a bit miffed when you moved up and stole him on me (in fact I called Coach Moustis to see if he revealed inside info from a conversation we had last night... I never anticipated you'd move up and was hoping, correctly I might add, that Brant wouldn't tell you I was gonna take Reed after him and I discussed it).
In retrospect, I am quite pleased to have Walker over Reed, and at this point welcome Javon and his 7 score on the Wonderlic into the Predators family. Heck, he's a football player, all he needs to know is how to play the game, something he's already demonstrated. Now. mastering the WCO, thats yet to be seen, maybe Brett will give him some tutoring lessons
!
Reed is a posession receiver, whereas Walker is going to be more of the main guy for Brett & co (don't tell me about Glenn, he'll f'up and be off the field before you know it!). As for Brett's career, I don't see him retiring within the next 3-4 years. I plan on giving Javon a 3-4 year deal, so I anticipate Brett will be his QB the length of his contract. So there!
Further, had I taken Reed, it would have been more of a homer pick than anything. Usually I have a rule, NEVER have ANY Buffalo Bills on my squad. After trading Henry in the LT deal, and then having you steal Reed I can still proudly proclaim my roster as free of the ills, I mean Bills.
Additionally, Walker seems to be considered the better candidate by most of the country, time will tell.
As for Stevens vs. Graham, I had Graham ranked #1, Stevens #2. Not sold on Shockey, especially considering he's on the Ginats and only has Kerry Collins throwing to him. Regardless, the top 3 TE's were certainly value picks.
