Tank was a fringe player at best. He was never really good at anything. Taking someone like him in the 2nd round is lunacy.

But they weren't, not at all.
Page, Pollard, Hali and Bowe are all NFL starters. And he was drafting middle/back in those 2 drafts.
To get 4 bona-fide NFL starters in 2 drafts is, at worst, average. It's pretty acceptable when you're working at the back 1/2 of the draft, in fact. And Croyle is damn talented. While it hasn't worked out aces, that pick was a good one as well.
Tank Tyler in the 3rd is a decent pick, he's a solid under-tackle in a 4-3 and came with the 82nd pick, that's pretty decent.
And Herb Taylor is a guy that should be starting but isn't because our HC is a moron.
Add in his 3rd draft and it's unmistakeable -- Herm Edwards put together 3 consecutive drafts ranging anywhere from solid to spectacular.
The man couldn't coach a championship team in NFL Europe, but give credit where it's due. He was a very good drafter.
