A look back at the 2008 draft

Funny thing is the 2010 draft class doesn't look much better sans TW. Unless Riley and Austin step it up I don't see this being a good draft class either.

Obviously the jury is out on Riley, Austin, Cook, and Capers. Hopefully at least 2 of those guys pan out.

It wasn't a totla bust. I think we've got two keepers in Williams and Banks. And w/out a doubt Torain looks like a real keeper if he can stay healthy. I know he's not a drafted guy but free agents can be added in as well.

We didn't have many picks though. The 4th - 7th rounds are not high percentage picks, so I wouldn't be too hard on MS if most of those guys don't stick. Capers is clearly a project, I don't know what they think of Cook, but it's encouraging that he got called up before the TB game. Austin too.

What is really frustrating about the 08 class was that Vinny made the right moves to trade back & pick up extra picks. Having 3 2nd rounders is very Belicheck-ish & most any GM will get 2/3 of them right. At this point he's at 1/3, and the '1' in that case is a TE that we weren't as much in need of (love Davis don't get me wrong). If Kelly can become a starter or a good #3 we can feel much better about the 08 draft, but no matter what it wasn't the kind of draft a team so lacking in depth needed.
