But I don't think I've ever seen such near lockstep agreement over the 7th round picks over any draft.

I think people should be/will be quite happy with the Blair Brown pick. However, a bad athlete big end DE who isn't really supposed to be anything more than a rotational guy at one of our strongest positions was silly. Dede I get, he is explosive and I think they realize one of Hurns or Marqise already has one foot out the door. There were just really solid prospects that fit some of the biggest needs on our teams in both cases.

Hurns already signed a contract extension. Maybe Allen Robinson or Marqise may be gone.

I like what I've read about the Blair Brown pick. (In fact, given how they had two LBs drafted in the mid rounds, I want to follow that Ohio program a little more closely) I think the problems people had were not so much an indictment of Brown as much as it was a failure to capitalize on the TE depth.

Regarding the Wesbrook pick, from a pure football standpoint, I don't think anyone had a problem with that pick at that point. The off field stuff and subsequent short leash the team said they would have him on is what gives me pause.
