And I think that Costanzo is a very good player. He's a solid tackle. If you bitch about picking one up at 21 after watching Richardson, Albert and O'Murphy flail about this past season, you are nuts.
Pioli screwed himself in 2009 and 2010. He could have easily have taken a quality tackle at any point in those drafts and upgraded the position. And it didn't have to be Okung for Berry. Beadles over McCluster would have been awesome. Monroe, Oher or Mack over Jackson would have been great. (Sanchez or Curry over Jackson would have been great.) Now he's stuck with three stiffs who can't compete at the NFL level and is basically forced to take a guy in this draft. Like I predicted the past two seasons.
And yet, even after watching our offensive tackles struggle, people around here still want to take a 3-4 defensive end. After we have already used two top five draft picks on that position the last three years. Jesus H. Keerist.

Uh......Who the hell wants to take a DE?
And Weigman wore down as the year progressed, and even at his best, he couldn't get any push in short yardage situations, and he might well retire, which means it an even bigger need.
