Its not like years past when we traded 3rd and 4th round picks for TJ Ducket and Brandon Lloyd. Its not like 2008 when we traded a 2nd and 6th for Jason Taylor. We're not just pissing away our picks. Would I like to acquire more picks - hell yes. But if we dont, i'm satisfied that we traded our picks for players who will fit our system and who project to be starters in 2010, 2011, and 2012, at the least.

I see where your coming from, but I feel like this attitude of we are not pissing away our draft picks is what we all said when we acquired those players. Tj Ducket was a beast in the goal line and would be that big back we need. with JT, our defensive line just improved so much!

here is the thing: we need offensive lineman bad. We need 3 or 4 of them. We need to get younger.
