Also, although I believe we should have taken a shot at several developmental Olinemen (i.e. - mutliple picks in the late rounds in hopes that one is an eventual starter), there is an argument to be made that, by leaving the offense alone, we improved it. You know, that whole continuity thing.

Key to this, of course, is that the young WR's step up, Rinehardt shows he can be a starter (if not this year, next), and that Campbell progresses. Those are some big "ifs".

Regardless, as the draft goes, it appears to have improved our defense. Hopefully, one of the late rounders sticks. I have my doubts - but, hey, I haven't watched hours of film. I give it a B-/C+ because I think the first two picks appear to be money and address long term needs. The late round picks should have all been addressed to OL in hopes that we get one keeper. I have been crying about our line well before this year and think that we need to get someone in the pipeline to take over for Samuels. I just don't see him and I am concerned that we will have to draft a first round OT soon (next year?). When you draft for necessity (not just need) you are looking for trouble (even "sure thing" OT's aren't sure things). To me, LB's are a dime a dozen and particularly with the DL we have assembled. "Protect the QB" comes first and simply can't be overemphasized.
