1st round picks are usually more no brainers than say a 4th through 7th rounder. But the bust factor for any player coming out of college can be the same no matter what round they come out of. Our problem of course, comes from lack of picks, so the picks we make have to be great picks. We have gotten really good young talent from the picks we had over the last few years. I think that speaks volumes of the individuals scouting these guys. hopefully our front office will allow these picks to stay with us in the future and we wont be scrounging for FA to fill in spots of need. Gibbs and Co. need to adopt this philosophy in the next year or two coming and really stress the talent evaluation for late round picks because with the cap and the possible dead cap money we are carrying will limit what talent we can bring in during FA period.
