O-Line Edition: Free Agency and the Draft

2010
1st round - TW - good so far minus drug abuse
7th round - Erik Cook - fail
7th round - Selvish Capers - fail

2011
7th round - Maurice Hurt - shows promise

Great point. I feel like Shanny historically has done well finding WRs in later rounds as well, but hasn't been as successful with the Skins. I wonder how much Bruce Allen is to blame. His draft record in Tampa was terrible. I do feel like last year's draft was our best though. Hopefully, Shanny & Allen are beginning to gel.
