Berry
Asomoah
Hudson
Baldwin
Houston
Arenas
Moeaki
7 guys.
Berry was a no-brainer.
Arenas is a good NCB, but terrible value with that pick.
Moeaki is exactly what most thought he was - fragile.
The rest are guys that you're assuming are going to be good based on a limited number of snaps.
7 guys. In three years.
Out of hundreds of transactions.
7.
Guys.

Terrific pick-ups
1. Berry
2. Asomoah
3. Houston
4. Breaston -- even if it was Haley's guy, it was a huge pick-up
Quality starters
1. Tyson Jackson (our best d-lineman last year by a mile)
2. Tony Moeaki (terrific player when healthy)
3. Jovan Belcher (much better than fans give him credit for)
4. Javier Arenas (terrific return guy, very solid player at an underrated position)
Borderline starters / Quality depth
1. Kendrick Lewis -- could play much better next to Berry next year
2. Travis Daniels -- I think one of the most underrated players on our roster
Wait and see--could have potential
1. Baldwin
2. Hudson -- I think he'll be a terrific starter next year
3. McCluster -- right now, a reach. But toward the end of the season, may have flashed that he was starting to get it.
Tentative -- Powe. Hasn't flashed anything yet, but I liked the pick anyway.
Solid enough stopgaps -- not world-beaters, but solid enough to start until a replacement is found
1. Wiegmann
2. Thomas Jones
3. Lilja
Getting 12+ players who play a significant role on the roster in 3 years is a pretty solid track record, considering that the only two players they gave big contracts to were Cassel and Steve Breaston (and you can hardly even call Breaston's contract "big.")
