Here are the non O line or D line picks in the top 20 of the 2013 draft.
Tavon Austin (WR), Dee Milner (CB), DJ Hayden (CB), Kenny Vaccaro (S), EJ Manuel (QB), Jarvis Jones (LB), and Eric Reid (S)
Do you see a #1 overall type of talent there? The draft class sucked and there is nothing we can do about it.

You missed a few.
You take a Ziggy Ansah or a Bark Mingo, who have playmaker potential as pass rushers.
You take a Tavon Austin, who has playmaker, gamebreaker potential in the slot.
Or a Kenny Vaccaro, who could have combined with Berry to give us playmakers at safety?
In a draft that has no clear #1, you throw out traditional thinking and take a risk.
Eric Fisher was a safe pick.
Luke Joekel would have been the only selection that would have been safer.
