"I'm a defensive guy and the cornerstone to most championship teams is defense, if it's not a quarterback," he said. "To me it's a good pick if you're not passing on a John Elway or a Dan Marino. Guys like Lawrence Taylor and Bruce Smith, they become the cornerstones of great teams. (The Texans) think this is a cornerstone guy. I can absolutely see why they did it."

Though I hardly think they would criticize the pick in the week of their game
against the Texans & Mario. It would really be interesting to know what they
think privately, off the record ?
But I'm now of the opinion that you always want to make every effort to trade the #1 overall for multiple picks, unless there is a QB of the Elway or
Marino stature in the Draft.
