Good point. I'm undervaluing the later draft picks (Like Pita and D.J.Reed). I *hope* the coaching staff can develop these guys. I'd like nothing more than draft all pros and hall of fame players in the 5th through 7th rounds. Even better if we get them via undrafted free agency!
But you are right, that's a lot of draft capital going to the defense.
I doubt that. It just wasn't a good year for us with the ERs available. It happens. Every draft doesn't have the right player a team might need available when they pick.
