When you spend a second round pick on someone it'd be nice if they were a true IMPACT player.
McCluster isn't, and neither is Arenas.
They aren't bad picks.
They just aren't impact players. Pioli damn sure needs to find some.

I don't understand your obsession with superstars. You're not asking for impact players. You're asking for playmaking superstars. Given the free agent class in 2010 and the fact that beyond the first round, it's significantly more difficult to find those, you can't walk into that kind of an offseason and expect to bring in 3 to 4 superstars.
No impact players? I'd say that Wiegmann, Lilja, and Moeaki have improved the run blocking of this team 10-fold. And Asamoah should too. And I'd say that Jones has kept our best playmaker, Charles, fresh and ready to go for the stretch run. I'd say that Arenas, Lewis, and Berry have added severely needed depth. And I'd say that Moeaki and I predict eventually McCluster have added some weapons to our passing game.
We're still missing spots. We knew they would. But as a result of personnel decisions, we are a significantly better running team, we are vastly improved in the secondary, and we have more than one legit receiving option. We piece together a similar draft in 2011 and bring in a few marquee free agents, and this team becomes very dangerous.
