CP was shouting about not taking Terence Cody and then ripping on the Dontari Poe pick. Especially when you get out of the top 10, you often have to decide between low upside / safe picks vs. risky / high upside picks.
More importantly, it's a dialogue about how ridiculously over reactionary people were to Fisher's play. As if he would never improve. That's where I get feisty. I never even called him a good player. I have said many times I think he could play like a top 20 pick.

It has to depend on much you have to work with when making that decision.
Dee Ford is a huge project, with very limited actual productivity.
He is simply not the best player that was available at that pick.
