Between 2011 and 2013 under Zimmer, we drafted 2 starters. One of them is a much maligned CB. The other is Iloka up for FA and has to be retained.
Shawn Williams is another potential keeper too. He's looked good. Outside of that...those are some pretty pricey draft picks that have been absolute shit and how many are out of the league or on their way out? 

Oh and I nominate Robert Sands for this thread too.

Wow....no doubt.  When you see it in print, you have a WTF moment for sure.....yikes.

Hunt was  a giant "What if..." he was already advanced in age, limited in football, not a bender and piled his stats vs a lot of kids 4 years his junior or more. He was a grown ass man beating up 19 year olds.

He never should have been a second round pick. Everything about him said "mid-to-late"

But people saw he ran in a straight line well and was very strong. Then he hit the absurd DE benchmarks we have for height-weight.
Recipe for disaster. 

This.....can you imagine Zeitler and Warford as our guards?  Hell, we could have moved Boling to C and dominated.
