My luck continued in that '05 draft, Tatupu was the 3rd LB I selected (22nd round). I steered clear of Thurman and Crowder due to charactor issues, didn't drop them off my board, but suspected they both would be taken earlier than I would. Thurman went in the 16th and Crowder in the 27th. WTS, with every hit there's generally a miss: the 4th LB I picked was Alfred Fincher, (Crowder was availble), and late in the draft, I took Lance Mitchell. I was real pleased to come away with 3 of the top 5 LB's on my board (Ruud, Tatupu and Fincher). I cut bait with Fincher back in August.Sorry aboutExactly the same story here. I took Ruud ahead of both of those guys and spent two years kicking myself over it.I drafted Ruud a few years ago over guys like Thurman and such. I also passed on Tatupu later. It was hard seeing Thurman do well early on and Tatupu getting lots of love.

Back to the topic: There's has been alot of Ruud
