yeah we're about 9% at hitting good players with our 2nd round picks over the last 10 years. and ironically (or maybe not) the best player we got was with a 2nd rounder that wasn't ours, it was the Jets originally that they gave us to move up.

I remember people bitching that we drafted Ryan "we dont need no stinking center"..."what a wasted pick"

bunch of dumbasses

[Keep Pounding]

no no no no no no no no no no no no no, we have the 9th overall pick, and in the second round we have the 8th pick, and no 3rd rounder, no trading up, trade down, get more picks, YES, trade up and lose more picks, Hell to the NO..

"it's a good idea to trade up because of that time we traded up into the first and got jeff otah"

I don't know, i feel like we are past the full rebuild mode, i feel like with a couple good picks this year and we have a top 5 team, if we don't get injured again that is.

also armanti edwards was technically a 3rd round pick, it just cost a 2nd rounder to get him

[PhillyB]

"second rounders are good picks to make big gambles with" is exactly what has caused so many of them to be astronomical busts.

[toldozer]

But but but were gonna trade stewart for a second round pick!!!!!!!!!

It cost us damn near a first round pick...the 33rd pick in that draft!

I'm okay with this because you know Claiborn would be an immediate upgrade to what we've got, and that makes the team better. Taking two guys like Coples and Josh Robinson might not do a thing for the team. One sure thing is a lot more comforting than two hit-or-miss guys.

getting Coples and Robinson would improve this defense. would rather have 2 top 50 picks, compared to 1.
