This year, people are bitching but unlike last year, I think Pioli IS right this year.
You can find NT's and ILB on cut down day that can fill a need. What you can't find are the best young returners in the country, young playmaking slot receivers and young instinctive football players.
They'll probably only win 6-7 games this year. I think 2012 is the year they become a consistent playoff team, IF Pioli's plan works.

I'm in. I love the draft. It is clear they gave Cassel all the tools he needs to be successful. Now it is on him to make this thing go. All the needs could not be filled in this draft. But some important ones were.
There will be more free agency, and another draft next year to take care of other needs.
