I took off all the non-WR/TEs as not to abuse the list. The number should roughly correlate to the value for the player in terms of draft pick, obviously.
19. John Carlson, TE, Notre Dame
34. Limas Sweed, WR, Texas
35. Dustin Keller, TE, Purdue
38. Mario Manningham, WR, Michigan
43. DeSean Jackson, WR, Cal
49. James Hardy, WR, Indiana
53. Martellius Bennett, TE, Texas A&M
61. Malcolm Kelly, WR, Oklahoma
69. Early Doucet, WR, LSU
73. Donnie Avery, WR, Houston
76. Fred Davis, TE, USC
80. Jordy Nelson, WR, Kansas State
87. Eddie Royal, WR, Virginia Tech
90. Jerome Simpson, WR, Coastal Carolina
I do feel today that James Hardy is going to end up being a bust. I feel I made a mistake putting him on the list.
But there were 4 players who had excellent rookie years in my top 60 or so, and two more excellent rookie years in guys I gave a third round grade to.
So to say there wasn't a better option out there at No. 34 than DT, well, then you just don't understand the draft. Of course there were better options out there. Vinny gambled and lost. That's just the way I see it.
