Just for fun, let's take a look at the 4 players who were drafted behind each one of our draft picks: #28 Kyle Wilson Cb Javhid Best Jerry Hughes Patrick Robinson #40 Torrel Troupe Rob Gronkowski Sergio Kindle Lamarr Houston #73 D'anthony Smith Major Wright Chad Jones Damien Williams #119 Geno Atkins Keenan Clayton Mike Kafka Al Woods #145 Cam Thomas Mitch Petrus Robert Johnson Hall Davis #163 Crezdon Butler Kerry Meir Stevenson Sylvester Nathan Tripplett #212 Willie Young Mickey shuler jr Jeremy Ware Kyle Calloway #252 Erik Long Josh Hall Tim Toone Well, looking at it that way, I have to wonder whether Chad Jones or Major Wright would have been better choices with #73 with Mitch Petrus at #145? The only other toss up imho would be Chris McCoy vs Willie Young, though Young played for 2 solid seasons and they may not have liked his game, McCoy played/started for 1 season and has more room to grow? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_NFL_Draft
Hughes, Troup, Kindle, Williams, Butler, and Hull are the potential misses IMO. Misi, Starks, Carroll, Jones, and Spitler need to prove to be better. Obviously Brandon Marshall is better than Damian Williams but we could have had both. That being said I would rather have Jerry as we stand today.
I'm still disappointed we didn't take Hughes in the 1st, and Kindle in the 2nd. But, I guess that didn't give the FO the personnel they were looking for, or they didn't rate Hughes as highly as many of us did. Definitely gotta trust the FO on this one. Just hopin' our D is better this season.
