    Look at our defense though.
    DaQuan Jones: 4th round draft pick
    Jurrell Casey: 3rd round draft pick
    Avery Williamson: 5th round draft pick
    Jason McCourty: 6th round draft pick

    Yea we've had some luck, but really how excited can you be about the Damion Staffords of the world being able to find their way into games...?

    Fact is our later picks arent that great, its just the earlier picks are so lousy the other guys look good.

    Yeah if our early picks were starters we would be starting 5-7 round talent at least as much.

    If our top picks showed up no one even knows who Coty Sensabaugh and others are, but because Ryan Mouton and others before him failed, we get to see these depth guys in action, and not because they earn it either, just lucked out that the guy ahead was crap.

    Yep, that's a great point. Our late round picks get chances to show themselves, while late round picks are almost always backups at best, barring injury, on other teams who don't suck.

    A player like Williamson may have been just a special teams player on a more talented team.

    Drafting decently in the late rounds gets you to 5-27.

    Even then, McCourty should of never been a #1 corner on any team. But a #2 CB in the 6th round, damn good value.

    This team has been long overdue getting a true #1 that can hold his own against top tier WRs and doesn't have to line up 10-15 yards off the ball.
