I'm a bit more optimistic than you are about our second round picks apparantly. I didn't expect Thomas/Kelly to contribute much in their first year, in fact I don't expect them to make a huge contribution until they are in their third, or possibly second (small chance of that at this point though). Davis doesn't look to pan out this year, I guess he's just stuck in a numbers battle because coaches feel more comfortable with Yoder right now and Davis hasn't sufficiently progressed to earn a lot of playing time right now. Tryon has sucked in the small time he's seen, but I haven't quite given up on him yet (he hasn't completely sucked like 90% of the time like Brooks), Brooks failed but Horton was a steal so they pretty much cancel each other out, Brennan has looked like a good pick so far, and Rob Jackson hasn't proven much yet (But the fact that he's still on the roster being that he was a 7th round pick has given me a sliver of hope for him, but it ain't much). So overall I don't think it was that bad of a draft class, and I think it's too early to write it off at this point.
