Tyson Jackson, Ryan Succop, Jovan Belcher.

O'Connell and Brown are still usable reserves in the NFL.
Williams, Lawrence, and Magee were total busts.
All of this is not a big screaming deal, until you get to trading the 2nd away for Cassel. Which is clearly where all the hyperemotion against the 2009 draft comes from.
But it's misdirected hostility to take that and scorn the entire collection of players.
We can get pissed because it's not an outstanding draft, and it isn't. But drafts that are just average aren't garbage. They're just average.
