The Truth about Gruden

[ryan24]

We got Key, who was "Key" to our Superbowl run followed by Galloway who was very productive for a few yrs following the trade. People talk as if we got nuthin in return.

True however that doesn't change the fact that the picks were lost and thus the opportunity to draft high end players was lessened...not that I buy that this was the major reason for poor drafts going back all the way to '99.

1 pick was lost.....1 body!!

Considering the Bucs' hit rate in the 1st round, turning two 1st rounders into the team's 7-time leading receiver is the best they did in 10 years.

Kind of like what I said.

 We used 2 picks and got 1 player.  That means we lost 1 pick/1 body

I wonder where the Colts would be if they lost just 1 pick/1 body = Peyton Manning?

The value of Keyshawn is not a factor. The point is that the Bucs did not have two first round picks. We're judging drafts at least in this case.
