Welcome.
I actually think the last 2 drafts were solid.
We could eventually have 4 long-term starters from 2008: Thomas, Kelly, Davis, Horton and who knows...Rinehart, Tryon, Moore, Rob Jackson and even Colt Brennan could play into the future. The only BAD pick was the punter, Durant Brooks.
This year, we could have drafted the best player in the entire draft with Orakpo. Kevin Barnes, Eddie Williams and Marko Mitchell will prove to be valuable team members and depth. We did a lot without a lot of picks but more importantly, knew to take Orakpo when he was somehow still available. If we had traded for Sanchez, I would have a much different feeling about the draft, I always thought that would be a bad idea.
