The 2007 draft brought the team an excellent young safety, the game's best slot receiver and one of the 5 best wide receivers of all time. Complaining because of a 4th, 5th, four 6ths and 2 7ths is beyond being greedy. People pointing to the number of picks consistently ignore the location of the picks when complaining, and that makes their argument worse than useless, because it makes it misleading.
Smith was traded because of a perceived logjam on the defensive line. He was a 6th round draft pick who brought back a 5th rounder in that trade.
O'Callaghan was on track to push Kaczur for the starting RT job until injuries derailed him. He's now starting for the Chiefs.
Andrews was a top special teams player until legal trouble got him cut from the team.
Stevenson was in the Texans mini-camp when he suffered what's likely to be a career ending injury.
As for the "UFL hopefuls" line.... Rogers and Richardson are both still in the NFL.
The point is that you won't be very good for very long if you are only hitting on one maybe two draft picks a year for consecutive years. None of the players you listed are still with the team so listing the reasons why or accompishments with other teams doesn't really help your argument.
