And if 28 teams took him off, that left 4 teams interested and it only takes 1 to pull the trigger.  He wasn't likely making it past the packers in round 2 (second pick)

Right after bengals 2nd pick you had, redskins, Broncos, Browns, lions as all needing RB.  Maybe 1 of them were 1/4 teams?  Can't twll

All true.  We were obviously one of the 4.  I hope this doesn't blow up in our face. Right now....all signs point to it being a good risk. That said...I don't really know what lengths the Sooners went to in order to ensure that.  They may have had him on lockdown for all we know.  I've made peace with the pick....might as well.  I believe in second chances...and in a moment of disgust and weakness.....I made a big error of judging the young man. That's not my place or style.  I still wish he got his chance elsewhere.......probably wouldn't feel as strongly about that if Smackman had been sent packing....but it is what it is.
