in all there were 11 2nd round picks that were other teams picks traded for whatever reason..11/32 teams used the same tactic everyone sees fit to whine about
In my book really only Forte qualified as a true impact player right from the git-go and the Bears were desperate to find a 25 carry a game RB..then again we all know Redskin fans demand results from day one..
