I would love for one of the Julio trade haters saying we gave up our entire draft for him, to tell me how we have 3 players on the all Rookie Team?

Also, I'll add the TD haters, questioning his talent evaluation.

Exaggerate much. Don't think amongst the "JJ haters", you'll fine a single poster denying his talent, but at what price? That said, well done to JJ, Bosh and Dent.

Wait I though TD was horrible at drafting according to this message board? How can this be?

On a serious notes Bosher was freaking awesome after he got his nerves together. He was probably one week away from being cut. He was a much better deal then what the Bucs paid of Koenan.
