A really good draft gets you 2 quality starters and maybe another average starter.
2009 was a dumpster fire...no question.
2010 got us a handful of good players
Berry is currently dealing with a speed bump after a rookie season that ended with him starting in the probowl
Arenas is a solid nickel
Asamoah is a good guard
Lewis has also had injuries effect his impact...when he plays, he is a solid safety for a 5th rounder
I'm not gonna slam the guy by cherry picking guys that might have been better picks...getting 4 or 5 average to above average starters out of one draft is very good.
2011 netted us a lot of talent, too.
Hudson was off to a good start and was grading out pretty well.
Baldwin is a pick that has immense potential, but Cassel makes him look just average at best.
Houston is a total beast.
Brown is a corner and those take time...he is becoming quite a good special teamer in the meantime, though.
Powe might just be better than Cody would have been from the second round of 2010.
Those two drafts should be credited to Phil Emery...not Pioli. They were good enough for him to get a GM spot in Chicago.
In fact, milkman and I both said the 2011 draft has just as much (if not more) potential than the 2008 class and I stand by that.
I'm not a fan of the 2012 draft...but at least it got us some good line prosoects.
