Given what they had to work with, I think they did well.

I agree with you.
The Draft is an Big Event for me but for Shanny and Allen draft picks are simply tools among the other tools in their toolbox. The other tools are Free Agency, trades, strength and conditioning, teaching, etc. Their goal is to use all of their tools in conjunction to build a championship team and not to "win" the Draft event itself. So, of course, they are not going to cling to second round pick when they can use it to get Donovan McNabb.
When I look at the players they added during the actual NFL Draft event, I think I'm seeing that they drafted for team needs and that they focused on players who were very productive in college and who are versatile. I don't think it's as helpful for us to look at the nominal positions these guys played in college as it is for us to look at the multiple things that each of them may be able to do for the team. For example, I'm sure that Special Teams ability was considered when they drafted Riley, Morris, and Austin.
Anyway, that's how I see it.
