Quote:#33 is a 2nd round pick, not "basically a 1st rd pick".

 

I will write it how I want. Thank you.

 

There are a lot of people who believe it is.  Particularly those who feel we should have used our 33 last season on Geno Smith.  Given all the reaches etc. that happen with first round picks, first round talent is available with that pick.  Every year.  That doesn't even consider the fact that the talent pool does not conform to the number 32.  In a bad draft there may not even be 32 players worth a first round grade.  In a good draft, you may find first round talent well into the second round (not just the first pick of the second round.)

 

So, yes... it can be considered another first round pick.  In fact, most folks do consider it just that.  It's mentioned every year on draft day.
