And he brought us Cassel. That's Pioli's level of intelligence.

Sure, he botched the Cassel bit, but who should have gotten instead over that timeframe? I am inclined to say, given the available options, Cassel wasn't really that bad of a choice.
The 2008 draft was a great draft.
Dorsey, Albert, Flowers, Charles, and Carr
But 2011 looks like it could be as promising from what we've seen.
Baldwin, Hudson, Houston, Bailey are all contributing ALREADY
The jury is out on the rest, but Brown, Stanzi and Powe all appear to be possible difference makers down the line. Miller, who really knows.
And you can hardly discount the 2010 draft. Berry is critical, as this season demonstrated. Arenas is a plus nickel-back and return man, which is certainly worth a second round pick. Asamoah and Lewis are solid. Moeaki will be great if he can stay healthy. Who knows about Sheffield.
