The 2006 draft was a disaster. The 2007 draft was on par with what you should expect an NFL team to do when drafting out of the #22 spot. People often forget that it's not like we had an attractive draft position. Out of that draft, we have 4 players who will probably be on the roster 5 years from now: Bowe, Tank, Turk and Herb Taylor. One, Kolby Smith, is borderline.
The 2007 draft wasn't a bad one. You know your fans are getting too choosy when they start acting like the 54th pick in the draft is a slam dunk. Drafting is as much about building quality depth as much as it is about landing a few solid starters.
I think the 2007 draft was decent. Not great, but good enough. And I think with the right coaching, Tank and Turk will both be solid contributors, which would make the draft a good one.
