Perhaps Mike Brown isn't so Semi-Retired?

He was generally ranked around the 6th to 8th best T and the Bengals took him as the 5th tackle, in the 2nd round. He was far from a "sure thing". 

When he was drafted, do you think fans would have been happy to have the 6th to 8th best T taken as the 5th tackle in the draft, if it had happened this year?
