When you draft 5th round ability dbs in the 2nd round you get 2nd round dbs who have 5th round abilityCan't we just be happy BB used a 2nd round pick on the secondary?

Interestingly enough both Richardson and Sherman came to Standford as WRs, then switched to defense.
I have no problem with Harmon. Wilson was a bust......I have posted multiple times BB isn't perfect but apparently you all who are criticizing this pick think player X would have been a slam dunk success over Richards.Do you think the draft positions of Duron Harmon and Tavon Wilson are justifiable? Right now, I don't and in my opinion, the Richards selection appears to mirror both; a significant over investment.
Funny thing is, almost ALL of the guards I like for us are still available. Dismukes, Mathias, Koundjo, Douglas
The 2007 defense was #4 in points against.****ing Wonderful !! Maybe BB will find a 2nd round talent in the 6th or 7th round to make up for this.
Football is won in the trenches, this team is not particularly strong on the Oline, plenty of Olineman available, we pick the slowest, worst safety available. We also have weaknesses at CB, and we draft a safety. Could have upgrade our WRs, we draft a slow as molasses can't cover safety.
Listen, you can ball wash BB all you want, and I agree, he's the greatest Coach of all time. But as GM, draft wise, he's not the greatest, not even close. Sure we've won 4 SBs in 15 years, BUT if he doesn't make such bonehead picks like this like he does EVERY year, we have at least 2 more. Imagine if we had a good defense in 2007 and 2011, we win it all, easily. But we had stiffs in the secondary in 2007 and 2011, who were drafted by guess who ? BB. Ellis Hobbs getting beat by Plaxico Buress plays in my head like a never ending video loop. Chung and god knows who getting beat deep in 2011. He keeps doing this, and seriously sabotaging his team's chances of winning SBs. Poor drafts from 2005-2011 doomed this team's chances. Great coaching masked it.

More likely Nate EbnerWell here is the fact of the matter.
Richardson is on this team. We are not cutting a 2nd rounder and we are probably not carrying 6 safeties so someone is walking. Probably Tavon Wilson.
People do realize that for most of Brady's career, he has had undrafted players playing guard protecting him. Only Mankins and Brian Waters were guards that were drafted that played in the starting line up. I am not concerned about getting a guard high.

It's all about the value that is available in the 2nd round. There are so many GREAT players that are available EVERY year in the 2nd round. We got one in Gronk. But to draft someone like Tavon Wilson and This guy, special teams players, is not smart asset management. Sure undrafted rookie free agents make this team, why, because he does a poor job of maximizing the actual draft picks. Great job in round one. HORRIBLE but typical bad job in round 2.He drafts at the bottom every year, then wins 12-16 games every year and 4 super Bowls. Who's opinion does he need?
