Why Did We Draft Fred Davis?

EVERY PICK IN 2009 should be either O-LINE or D-LINE.

We drafted Fred Davis (as well as the others - jury is still out on them) because we believe we are smarter than the other NFL teams- that is, on draft day, we were certain that every other NFL team got it wrong and that each of the 3 picks are "steals" or "must draft" at their picks. Now, there is nothing wrong with thinking you are smarter than other teams, except when you aren't. Hindsight is 20/20, I know- but can't we do better?

I agree 100% with this. There's nothing wrong with going out on a limb on draft day and trying to show all the other teams whats up...but then it's pretty critical that you get it right.
