CRISTL- "THOMPSON THINKING SMALL"

[KYPack]

Ron Wolf was a spin master.

He always put a good face on his decisions and made the fans feel like we got the best value for our picks, trades, etc.

Michels was a first round reach, I think Wolf would have snapped up RayLu and then got the best LT he could've gotten in later rounds.

But the real question is what would the fans have said had Wolf traded his number 2 pick and the 27th pick to move to 25 to get Lewis. Blowing an extra pick (and a second rounder at that!) to move up to get a pro bowler instead of Michaels and Mayes (edit - Mayes was the previous year - this was the Sharper pick if I remember correctly). Who would dare such a thing and how would the fans react?

No, you were right the first time. It was Derrick Mayes in the 2nd round. man, I always thought that guy was gonna explode, but he never put it together. All that talent, but he still flopped.
