Fair point. Plus Harvey cost extra picks as they moved up to get him.

Soward was back end of the first round and we traded up from the 2nd to get him as a "missing piece" or "luxury" kind of pick. He was basically a less talented Justin Blackmon without the monster 2.5 years of production.

Derrick Harvey bc we traded up from 26 to 8, and gave up 2 3rd's and a 4th iirc (just for comparison's sake Jared Allen was traded from KC to Minny for less) for him to just not even look like he belonged in the NFL or even cared.
