I hope you are right. 

We could ask Kiper who had Sanders at his first overall pick.

They reached on a LB when Ratleridge was sitting there for the taking.

I've seen Ratledge (the correct way), Rutlidge, Rutledge, Ruttidge, Rattedge, but never Ratleridge lol, that's a good one!

I like Stew and would have taken him myself, but if I'm told I can't I pick James Pearce or Shadue Sanders just so Kiper would STFU the next 3 days

Well, Fairchild was a 3rd rounder by most analysts and taken right where he should be. He didn't blow up the combine like Ratledge did.

But as we know, football isn't played at the combine. Staying low is key to good OL play and having longer arms helps as well. 

Fairchild has him on both of these things.

Zabel, Starks, or Pearce. They all seem more plug and play. In fact, all are already listed as starters on Ourlads whereas Stewart and all of our picks are backups.
Harmon would have fallen into the mix of DT3s and had tackling issues, so he was partially a development player.
And then there was always trading down for another pick and not leaving day 2 without a safety.

I would have drafted Harmon to provide a pass rush in the middle of the defensive line then signed free agent Za'darius Smith to provide a pass rusher opposite Hendrickson. Our pass rush would have been much better this year if the Bengals had done this. Since we didnt do this, all we can hope for is Stewart is able to do something against Pro level players that he couldnt accomplish againt college guys, get sacks.
