There are no guarantees in the draft. Tell me the best team in the league at the draft, and I'll pick ten absolute busts they've had in the last five years. We can't say with certainty that any rookie is going to be good.

Chris Cooley had an off year last year - like the whole team did. Still he managed to score more TDs than all but three Tight Ends in the league.

Everyone who's giving up on Rocky McIntosh should strongly reconsider that as well. This is the same defensive staff that refused to start Sean Taylor at first, and he might just be OK. Holding him up to Pierce is an unfair benchmark.
