Vinny was here in 2009, so we have to count that year too.
Except for 2008 and 2002, our drafts were "small", as in those drafts had fewer than the 7 picks you get by default. It's up to the FO to hold onto picks and not make stupid trades like the ones for Duckett, Lloyd, Jason Taylor, etc or trade up for a Jason Campbell.
