Somebody please try to convince me that the FO has a plan.

60 Green Bay Packers -Patrick Lee -Cornerback Auburn
61 Dallas Cowboys -Martellus Bennett -Tight end Texas A&M
62 New England Patriots- Terrence Wheatley- Cornerback Colorado
63 New York Giants- Terrell Thomas

in all there were 11 2nd round picks that were other teams picks traded for whatever reason..11/32 teams used the same tactic everyone sees fit to whine about

In my book really only Forte qualified as a true impact player right from the git-go and the Bears were desperate to find a 25 carry a game RB..then again we all know Redskin fans demand results from day one..
