And your hope that this occurred is based on what? His excellent late round record from his time in SF? No - Cerrato can track numbers on current pro players and seems to be able to tell which college star will translate to the NFL (Samuels, Arrington, Bailey, Gardner, Ramsey) , but he lacks "the eye" when it comes to unearthing average/good college talent that will step up to the next level. I may be wrong but has he ever hit, I mean really hit - quality starter/pro bowler - outside the second round (almost limited it to first but then thought of Smoot and Jansen)?

With that said, however, his first rounders have been good solid hits and no horrid busts. That is not something to be completely disregarded.
