Re: Celts draft.

Waiting 3-5 years is fine with rookies when you have the semblance of a team
to begin with. We have always needed help like yesterday and couldn't be
patient with greenhorns. And to boot our drafts were real projects. I do
agree Brown will blow up altogether on another team with lots of playing
time. I hope we trade him, he won't do well with OB anyway.
