How is that an example of successfully doubling up? Franklin contributed very little last year. In his one good game he had a crucial fumble. We could have used that pick at another position. WR Kenny Stills went to New Orleans soon after. I remember us tripling up at CB in 1999, and we got one good player out of it in Mike McKenzie. (Well, two good players since we traded Vinson for Ahman Green, but that was just a team giving up on a superstar too early because of his fumbling; Vinson turned out to be a bust.)
