looking at the 1st two rounds i can count on two hands the number of players that have actually produced by now
I think that statement is a little extreme as the number is higher than that. Now were there some horrendous picks in the first two rounds? Absolutely. However, the huge drop off in talent really starts in the third round (only a few players like Stewart Bradley, Mason Crosby, Mike Sims-Walker, Tanard Jackson, Doug Free, Tanard Jackson, Le-Ron McClain, Steve Breaston, Brett Celek, Brandon Siler, and Chinedum Ndukwe came from rounds 3-7).
Anyway, I've gone through and tried to objectively pull out the guys from these two rounds who have made a contribution to their team the past three years. Now do I think all of these guys are good players? No, there are a few I am not a fan of. In fact I think some may see their roles diminished going forward. Still based on their stats, all of these guys have either taken on an important role or have executed the role they were given (I also included Okoye because he seems to be improving and is still only 22 years old).
