What is the deal with our horrible first round picks??? I get that we had a lot of late picks but this list is really pretty pathetic. Avery was such an obvious bad pick.... same with Fletcher. We really needed him when Pat and Sam were both playing at probowl levels. Milner?? Yatil was just bad luck, but Hill was a bust. Word's still out on Allen and Carey but they both haven't impressed me too much. Gardener was a stud but major injuries. And McDuffie.. great possession wr but the hands were questionable and not first round talent. If you throw in Ricky for the 2002 and 2003 picks it's even worse. And I love Ronnie, but you're kidding yourself if you wouldnt rather have Peterson... Ronnie needs to prove a lot more for the money he's getting. Marco, Timbo and Vincent all had their day in the sun, but 16 years and thats it??? No more busts... i dont want a big Dlineman, but it seems like that's what this draft has to offer safely and its better than Ginn (who i kinda wanted) turning out to be another Troy Williamson or getting the best of a bad crop of Olineman. CB's are soft in this class and we dont want to use it on a Safety. QB's arent gonna drop. UGH... i dont mean to be a whiner but how about a bigtime first rounder for once!! I'm starting to think for the longterm our guy is probably Okoye. He's got a lot to learn but his potential is endless considering his age and skills. Or Branch if he falls??
