As for the Iggles, they struck by combining value with need. I grant that his age would have made him less attractive to me. But at least for several years they have shored up a weakness.

Fair points. I just want to point out that in a year where the BPA strategy was paying higher than ever dividends to all teams that were patient and used it, the Giants drafted Prince Amukamara maybe 6 or 7 spots after his projected slot. In an other year, I don't know if Prince is a top 20 player. But this year, he unquestionably was, so I'll give the Giants props for their patience, if nothing else.
