The problem is though they don't that well .

From 2008 draft :

Mayo is a good player for them but, Kevin O'Connell was a third round pick in 08 and was cut, Shawn Crable, Terrance Wheatly, have either just come off IR or just been placed on IR Wilhite and Matt Slater are burried deap on the depth chart

From 2007 Draft : Branden Merriwether was taken too high for his production and has really not had the impact you desire . No one else made the team from the remaining 8 picks . Okay they were day 2 picks but even the Skins have day 2 jems and depth to point to .

From the 2006 draft : Lawance Marooney - great change of pace back if he can stay healthy but never put up more than 1000 yards and never played an entire season . Other than that . Chad Jackson - Off the team (OTT) David Thomas (OTT) Garett Mills (OTT) Stephen Gostkowski - (Keeper but a kicker in the 4th round?) Ryan O'Callaghan (OTT) Mincey, Dan Stevenson (OUT OF THE LEAGUE) Le Kevin Smith (OTT) Willie Anderews (OTL)

2005 Draft : THeier best draft in recent years . Logan Mankins (G), Nick Kakzur (T) and James Saunders (S) and it would have also been Elis Hobbs - but they got three starters out of that draft that are still starters today .

Who knows the impact of the 2009 draft . The draft they picked up 6 2nd and 3rd round players. Brandon Tate and a couple of other are already on the IR lists .

Overall their drafting is average at best . And now Scott Pioli has gone it will be interesting to see how things pan out . I am starting to believe that Poli went before he was pushed ...
