Is the argument, yeah, Thomas, Davis, and Kelly have all sucked this year, but Philip Merling and Calais Campbell suck too, so ha! Because that's pretty dumb.

That was the whole point of this thread and calling Cerratto an idiot.
Good post.

Regarding the guys that want to wait years before judging our top three picks, you can not get around that they arrived to camp out of shape. I recall Zorn being really upset that they could not pass the fitness test. Then what surprise, they get hurt. Maybe because they were out of shape?
I could see a big lineman not passing a fitness test but a WR not passing a fitness test? Really! Our FO did not do their homework on these guys.
These players dropped in the draft for a reason. The other teams thought were not that great. This was clearly a weak WR class.
We should not be surprised they dropped in the draft and they have done very unproductive in the playing field. It is clear by their on the field production that were not as great a value as some people claim.
