I agree. Its fairly rare for guys drafted beyond the 2nd round to ever amount to anything of significance. The important thing is to make the picks in those two rounds really count.

When I look at our lines (9 starting positions) and I look at our current roster, the only guy I see starting in two years is Samuels... and he will almost certainly be gone in 5. So over the next 2-3 drafts, its imperative to accumulate as many picks in rounds 1-2 as possible and then make very smart decisions.

I would also consider trading our 3rd rounder this year for a 2nd next year if someone is willing to make the trade. and if a team offers a 2nd or 3rd for a player this year (moss or rogers), ask for a 1st or 2nd next year instead.
