It is very amazing how for whatever reason they suck inthe 2nd round.

Are they all out on a pee break after sitting theer for a long time in round 1?

A leopard can truly never change it's spots, can it NEM...

Light, Branch,Welker..they seem to do OK for a team more often than not picking at the tail end of rounds, and have particularly good success when they used the pick to acquire an undersized player. Bodes well for this years diminutive pick.

When a team wins 7 Division Championships and 4 Conference Championships and 3 Superbowl Championships in 8 years, they don't suck at anything except perhaps better educating an arrogant and ignorant fan base.

- Bethel Johnson, Adrian Klemm (both 2nd's), and JR Redmond (3rd) made some contributions, but were disppointing overall

- Marquise Hill (2nd) was a work in process, but did very little in 2 seasons

- Chad Jackson (2nd) and Dave Thomas (3rd) are going to be very good imo

To be more accurate, during the BB era, they've almost NEVER missed on 1st round picks. 2nd and 3rd round picks are a dicier proposition.
