Brown.  All of these guys had above average to great rookie years and were in the 1-2 round range.  We drafted a blocking tight end that was in the 4-6 round range.  There is absolutely no excuse for Drew Sample and anyone who justifies it just doesn't understand the purpose of the draft or how to scout players.

All of those players went before the Sample pick. You can attack the trade but maybe they were targeting Irv Smith Jr. who went 2 picks before Sample and they went with the next TE in their board.
