the rest of those players arent starters... or were only starters because of injury.
If anything I think your list proves we evaluate talent well in the early rounds...but not in the later ones at all...

Fair points. But keep in mind the depth we've gotten in later rounds/UDFAs.
Anyhow, my point is (and I'll bet Scott Pioli would agree) that there is no one way to build a team. And having draft picks does not mean that their only value is by drafting college players.
I don't know maybe I'm missing something. But I just don't see how using one out of nine picks this year to trade for a proven NFL player at a need position is met with such apocalyptic reaction.
