I'm very satisfied with year's draft class, especially after the second day. Picking up Hernandez on the third day was especially great. I, like many, was shocked to see the McCourty pick at 27 but after my blood pressure went down I came to realize that it made a lot of sense.
One point I came to think about was BB's other WTF picks in early rounds and saw how they panned out. Logan Mankins, Richard Seymour, and Sebastian Vollmer stick out. It seems that when BB "reaches" (according to those "analysts") in the first two rounds, the players greatly surprise and exceed expectations.
Bethel Johnson and Terrence Wheatley say hello.
I do remember Bethel returning a couple of kickoffs for TD's. And i remember him scoring a TD againts the Titans in the playoffs, which was needed for that win.
And Wheatley could still make a decent dime or nickle back. You could have come up with Chad Jackson or someone else. No team, I repeat, no team has perfection in any draft.
I am very surprised on the voting. Even the 1 no vote was declared a mistake by the poster.

They were both 2nd to 3rd round prospects, not eaxactly "WTF?!" picks. Chill out.
Nobody's more of a Kool-Aid drinker than me. But it's just too much to say that BB's "WTF" picks in the first two rounds always pan out. The record is definitely mixed -- and I didn't even mention Marquise Hill or Adrian Klemm. And I don't know how you can say that Bethel Johnson wasn't a WTF pick. Nobody even knew who he was when he got picked. Bill's had some hits in the first two rounds to be sure, but there have been some misses, and weird misses at that.
Man, I can't even answer whether I'm happy with the 2009 draft class (though I'm leaning towards a 'yes'), or even the 2008 class (though heavily leaning towards a 'no'). And here you are asking about the 2010 class.
OK...ok...we'll take it easy on you...are you happy with the outcome of the Peloponnesian war in 421 B.C.?
Personally, I am estatic with the outcome of the Peloponnesian war, but the jury is still out on the Trojan War. I am still holding out hope that Troy makes a comeback.
