I have to agree. Rounds 1 & 2, great picks, mind boggling there after. So far I give this draft a C+. I would have preferred Darnell Bing the safety from USC over TE Dave Thomas from Texas in round 3. If BB has his heart set at drafting a pass catcher in round three, Maurice Stovall was there for the taking. A big receiver who pretty much knows the system already. Can you imagine Deion Branch, Chad Jackson, and Maurice Stovall in our 3 receiver st with Graham and Watson at TE, with Faulk or Maroney/Dillon out of the backfield ?? Geez, that would have been unstoppable. Instead we take a TE who granted, was the top target for Vince Young, and who some publications say has the best hands of the TE's available, but it still didn't make sense. He is also described as nothing more than an H-Back due to his lack of size and blocking skills.
Round 4, Garrett Mills ?? TE or FB, we didn't need this, but yet again, if BB felt we needed another pass catcher, what about Jason Avant from Michigan. Granted, we did need to replace Fauria, but with two guys that projected later than picked (Mills was projected 7th rounder/FA). We totally ignore defense, when we could have picked guys like Bing, Parham, etc.
Don't get me started on the kicker. You mean to tell me he wouldn't have been available in round 7 or as a FA ?
Regardless of what BB spews to the media, he is pulling the wool over everybody's eyes. He definately drafted for need the last two years, not the best player available. Mankins,Kaczur, Jackson, and the kicker were all needs, though Jackson was the best available receiver, but definately drafted for need.
Then round 4, another
