I agree, and while many continue to be dissapointed we were not able to land that ever elusive DE or DT, the overall results of this draft will eventually prove more than credible.
Durant Brooks was a good pick despite the fact punters aren't usually drafted. He is great value for a 6th round pick. I remember Ray Guy was drafted #1 by the Raiders though they too had more needs at the time in other areas. A punter who can average 45yds. for ten yrs. or more is great value in any round.
Colt Brennan was a complete steal also, a guy with all the mechanics to be great in the WCO. Given time and proper coaching, he will prove a lot of doubters wrong.
