Salgado number 1 - surprised?
Like Bobbaduzzi said, we wanted a player that may not make an impact immediately (well, duh) but will be an impact player in the future and for years to come. You have to take the best player, and I'm sure they'll figure out the Visa issues ASAP.
I hated Portland before, but that adds to the fire. Sour grapes for not being #1? Nanchkoff (sp?) with the 8th pick.
