Anyone picked up after round 3-4 will just be a waste of space or practice squad fodder for a season or two then released. At #21 we still could have landed a decent D linemen or guaranteed getting the best WR or S in the draft. I know it is a relatively thin year for talent, but you still have to go for top quality. More picks when the pickings are slim doesn't help you.

In case you missed it no WRs even went in the first round and we still came away with one of the top ones on the board. And there's still plenty of quality DEs out there. So what are you griping about??
