Trade details
They used their regular 7th rounder on the RB Williams (Succup was a compensatory pick). |
hah!
and the legend stops growing to mythical proportions.

FTR I am 100% behind the notion that good teams find good players after round 4-5. We were just arguing 7th rounders because of how we hit on two in 5 years (Page and Succup) and how rare that actually is in the NFL
The talent evaluation in those later rounds right now is VERY important because we wont have a coaching staff like this forever...you know, that can actually develop talent.
This is why this draft was soo good IMO, I think we hit on damn near EVERY SINGLE PICK when a good draft by a good team nets you 3-4 good players at most (except for legendary drafts...) Its a damn shame Sheffield went down for the year, I liked what little I saw of the kid. Especially at the senior bowl.
Shit, every pick could turn out to be a damn STUD
