In the long run, that'll be more beneficial than Landry starting right away in 2007.
I just wonder if fans have the patience for that.

This I agree with.
I don't know whether the fans have the patience for this, but if Okoye makes the pro bowl in 2008, I think all will be forgiven. IMO, it doesn't matter who we take, we have to allow at least a year for development. That's why all the Rocky bust talk for not beating out Holdman is downright silly.
No matter who we draft, you won't hear anything from me about their bust potential during their rookie year. You have to see them in their second year before you can even begin to assess what you have in them.
