I would have to say no.

Do we really know what Thomas and Brooks are going to do in the NFL? They are unknown commodities at this point.

Would it be worth it to get a top 5 DE in the league for 2 full seasons? Maybe a HOF? If you can get 2 good years out of Taylor. I'd say that's pretty successful. Taylor is used to getting 10+ sacks a year. That makes our whole D better...the LB's and CB's especially. I'd say they are pretty happy about getting Taylor.

On a % basis, 6th rounders rarely start and don't last long in the NFL.

I think the skins made a good move here.
