I don't get how can you defend drafting three guys who have contributed zero this year and then turn around and trash two other guys' rookie seasons. If we all agree that you can't judge draft picks based on first year production, and I'm sure Vinny thinks that, then what the hell do Campbell and Merling's first year tackle totals have to do with anything? Is the argument, yeah, Thomas, Davis, and Kelly have all sucked this year, but Philip Merling and Calais Campbell suck too, so ha! Because that's pretty dumb.
