We'll be just fine with DT and MK (and Fred Davis). Just wait and see

There are still non-Jackson 2008 draft picks (after pick #49) who have more approximate value through two years than any two of our non-Jackson picks combined (Fred Davis - 7, Devin Thomas - 4, Malcolm Kelly - 3). Most, admittedly, are running backs.

• RB Ray Rice
• RB Steve Slaton
• OL Carl Nicks
• RB Tim Hightower
• RB Jamaal Charles
• RB Kevin Smith
• DB Brandon Carr
• OL Josh Sitton
• DB Charles Godfrey

I'm not saying, "we should have drafted a RB, look at that value!", because pretty much every draft is like that, where the RBs compile their value a lot earlier than other positions. But, there were at least two lineman there we could have taken with those picks who have already become top ten guards in the NFC. To be fair, both were still on the board when we took Rinehart, so this could be a development issue that I'm spinning as a draft issue.

Either way, the point is that, if you are strong enough at a position to limit your draft pool based on size, you don't have a need at the position. A team that is going to try to justify taking three pass catchers in a single draft round cant also be acting like they don't actually have a need for smaller receivers. That thought process is ridiculous.
