Personally, I can think of a few examples where I would rather have a cheaper player or even one who most don't think is as good:
I'd rather have:
1) Greg Jennings over Mike Wallace- Wallace seems like he's less durable and maybe less of a threat in traffic. Like he's more of a vertical guy. I'd like a guy who's more well rounded even at the expense of deep speed. Jennings would be a top target for me.
2) James Harrison over Justin Durant- I want solid, proven LB'ers. I'd be willing to sacrifice youth for attitude and experience. We have enough youth and I want to add more through the draft. I'd go after someone like Harrison over someone like Durant.
3) Jon Vilma over Dannell Ellerbe- Many for the reasons in #2. But again I want a solid LB'er corp that can be counted on to add leadership and solid play. Even at the expense of youth.
4) LaRon Landry over Dashon Gholdson- I want a guy who is really good in run support. Even at the expense of some ability in coverage. Landry is the type of run stuffer that I'd really like us to have. Whether it's at the LB spot or the SS spot I want to make way more stops near the LOS. Gholdson is no slouch but I like Landry's upside and think he may just continue upward and become one of the top 10 SS's in the league. And i think his price will be significantly less that Gholdson's as well.
5) Dustin Keller over Jared Cook- I have always been a Jared Cook fan but I think Keller is very good as a receiving threat and more productive at this point. I also think he may come cheaper.
Who's on your list of rather have's?
