I guess if you're looking to scapegoat the GM, load him up with a ton of picks that won't make the roster, fuel the fires just a little more, right?

Yeah, like I said, I didn't try to move around any more because I wanted to see the players around those spots. In an ideal draft I'm turning some of those later picks into a 3 or maybe a couple 4s. I'd be really happy coming out of this draft with Haynes and Zinter though. SVP is not my favorite at center, but I think he's going to make a solid pro and is likely an upgrade over Fortner. Getting Brown and Hall, Jr.? That ends the "we aren't strong enough" problem on the D line. I'd rather have 8 guys total: 3 Oline, 2 DT, 1 Edge, 1 WR, 1 Safety. The RB, QB, and TE were luxury just based on keeping all those extra late rounders.
