    I believe Lee was a Sherman pick. I remember him being a big fatty that was more of a DT in 4-3. He was more comparable to Johnny Jolly--except he completely sucked ass. Boyd is more of a NT/DE hybrid in a 3-4. The scout in McGinn's article says that Boyd flashes a bit. Let's be real though. Boyd was a late round pick. At the spot most guys turn out to be something closer to Lee than Jolly. Jolly was a good pick by Thompson where he was taken. The Lee pick was based on potential--which happens a lot late in the draft. Hard to fault Sherman on taking a late round flier on a big body.

      my bad....I was thinking Boyd was another round four guy but he was round five.........
      TERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWER

        It's one thing to take a late round flier on a guy with potential. It's another thing to trade away 2 picks to do it. It was just another draft day panic move by Sherman similar to B.J. Sander and Donnell Washington.
        I can't run no more
        With that lawless crowd
        While the killers in high places
        Say their prayers out loud
        But they've summoned, they've summoned up
        A thundercloud
        They're going to hear from me - Leonard Cohen

          This. But we already knew this. At some point we will have a GM that is not an ideologue about these things.
          Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
