But I am still kind of perturbed that the team had 3 top 5 picks in a row (never before!) and did not take a shot at a legit franchise QB. I really like two of the picks, and hope the Jackson pick pans out to some degree, but I would have loved to have seen them take a shot at a QB.

I have to give Pioli some slack for the first draft as the scouting department was still made up of Peterson disciples. It wasn't until the second draft that we start to see the Pioli style come through.
