And watching GK slide down the draft board, I obviously wasn't the only one who wasn't that high on GK, as some had projected him in the top 15 but he kept sliding.

But, there were people who were seriously suggesting that the gap between GK and AH wasn't 29 picks wide. Maybe they were trying to convince others, or themselves, that it was a good pick.

Watching the AH highlights really opened my eyes to the talent gap.

Think about this:

AH has more picks (3) than our 1st round corner, and more sacks than our 1st round defensive end. And he doesn't play with anyone the caliber of Chris Jones. Some of GK's sacks are directly related to Chris Jones and the havoc he causes.

Again, I am really a fan of GK now. I think he is going to keep improving, and could be a similar player to Tamba Hali.

But, the people who said that GK was as good, or nearly as good as AH were absolutely wrong.

Yeah I agree, though I didn't want Watson so maybe another one I got wrong. But I think GK was good value at the pick. I havent rated his performances this year anywhere near as highly as others on CP it seems, but I'm hopeful of a big improvement in year 2.
