Our performance in the 2nd round for the past three years and what could have been

2008:
We draft Devin Thomas, Fred Davis, and Malcolm Kelly.

What could have been:
Had we stayed in the first round:
We had an 8/13 chance of getting a stud if we go by players at that pick or after it but before the 2nd round spent on Thomas.
We could have had one of the following:
Sam Baker
Rashard Mendenhall
Chris Johnson
Mike Jenkins
Duane Brown
Dustin Keller
Kenny Phillips

Had we chosen our second rounders differently:
The selection for Thomas
We could have had one of the following:
Brandon Flowers
Jordy Nelson
Eddie Royal
John Carlson

We could have had one of the following instead of Fred Davis:
DeSean Jackson
Calais Campbell

Instead of Kelly, we could have had one of the following:
Ray Rice

We could have reached for Jamaal Charles too.

2009 Draft:
The infamous Jason Taylor trade left Miami picking the bust Pat White. However, there were players available that would have provided more for us than what Taylor did, and for less money to boot.

Max Unger
LeSean McCoy
Phil Loadholt
William Beatty

2010 Draft
Coughed up the goods to Philly(we love being Philly's little helpers)

Could have had one of the following:
Nate Allen
T.J Ward
Lamarr Houston
Taylor Mays
Terrence Cody
Montario Hardesty

Yes, I'm quite aware that there are a bunch of to-be dud players in those rounds. But still, quality starters could have been had if we kept those damn picks or in 2008, chosen better.
