What are people's thoughts on these picks - In the 20/20 of hindsight:
Were they good picks?
Will any pan out as being worth the cost?
Do you think they are just wasted picks?
I think the consensus is that Russell is a washout.
I don't know about Bauman - will he ever be more than a competent to good nickel back? Is he even that? If so, why load up on DB's of questionable quality? Not referring to Springs as one of the questionable CB's, but by getting Springs are the Skins acknowledging that Bauman can't be a starter?
As for Betts, obviously, he is no more than 2nd string right now - but say Portis gets injured, was Betts worth the 2nd rounder? Does he have the talent to step in and be a starting quality back? If given the opportunity, could he be a 1,200 yard back?
I look back at these picks and think "What a waste of high picks". Just wondering if anyone disagrees or thinks I am being to hasty.

the reason why we bulked up on db's if you didnt already notice... is because williams being our d-head coach. he will use alot of six db formations and he would like allot of some what talent on the field. walt and ralph along with bauman will be fighting for that nickel spot. and i think believe it or not, ralph brown may win it. i havent seen anyone talk about him on this site, but this guy did a pretty darn good job with the giants a year ago. but walt seems to be the front runner but he is getting old and injuries are starting to be a concern
