LB from Syracuse. Great kid and unbelievable story. Didn't make the grades to return to school for his last year. Special teams ace. Shy Cullen - ( New Window )
IMO if a team is really in need of a player for this season, a better
choice would be to trade a pick for a veteran rather than give up a choice for a rookie.
Why is that? It's essentially getting one of next year's picks about 10 months early. I get that the downside is that the pick comes after OTAs and minicamp, so the rookie is behind the curve on all that learning.
Good to see you Dan! Missed you during MLB Draft and the different philosophy of the Mets this year.

The best players selected over the past 20 years have been LB Ahmad Brooks, OT Jared Gaither, Terrell Pryor, and Josh Gordon.
