Which gets back to my original comment in the thread - our front office tosses draft choices like confetti. We probably have more guys who were selected in the first round than any team in the league. In a perverse way, this can be a bad thing, since every one of those guys has gotten at least on large signing bonus, and may not be as hungry as the 3rd and 4th rounders fighting to establish their careers so they can cash in. Antonio Pierce (an undrafted FA) is a great example of a guy who was hungry to improve while he was here. I'd take guys with that work ethic and desire over many of the overpaid former 1st rounders currently wearing burgundy and gold - Rumph, Archuleta, Carter, and Wynn are prime examples on our leaky defense.
