Our drafting has sucked lately

He was a great prospect on paper for all of the reasons you mentioned. Ultimately he didn't work out, but it is such a lazy and misinformed opinion to say that he had nothing but speed. You don't get drafted in the top 10 purely on speed unless you're Darrius Heyward-Bey.

I will never claim to be some football expert or draft guru, but most folks don't really take any time to really familiarize themselves with the prospects.  They just think you draft you guy highest on Kiper's Best Available at the position that they think we need most.

Beyond that, they will never hesitate to tell you all about the picks they thought were bad at the time that turned out bad, but never mention the ones they thought would be good that turned out bad.  Or the prospects they lusted after that we didn't take that busted.
