Different players hold different values to different teams. Some teams may covet a guy like Larson more than Brodie because he's more of a "stay at home" kinda guy and if the team in question already has one or more players like Brodie who seem to be "roamers" that team may want a guy like Larson more.
Overall, if LV had a chance to take either Larson or Brodie to start off their D corps, they would take Brodie every day of the week. The other thing is that Brodie is on a very nice contract so that really helps too.
It's just like comparing Regher to more offensive defenders (not saying Larson is anything like a Regher, it's just an example). Teams always want more offense but they also need stay at home guys.
