As the article points out, meanwhile TJ Watt has 20 sacks in 2 years and has gone to two PB's. If that trend continues and King busts, that will be a huge swing and a miss by Ted.
Not only would TJ be the far better player, it likely means there wouldn't have been a "need" to draft Gary or maybe even one of the Smith boys.
I know. Woulda coulda shoulda...but damn
