Would you have Drafted differently?

Count me in the group that was hoping for Early Doucet with that second third round pick. I know, I know -- he's short and slow -- but I think he'll be a productive possession receiver in the NFL and he'd be penciled in as a starter for us from day 1.

So I guess Doucet over Cottam and/or an OL with the last pick (since I think we could have signed Merritt as UDFA), but that's a really minor quibble.

I also give the FO credit for a couple of things -- picking Richardson in the 7th (if we had picked him 4th or 5th, I doubt anyone here would have minded), pulling the trigger on DeJuan Morgan even though safety is not our biggest area of need (that guy was easily BPA at that point in the draft), and drafting a potential kick returner. Drafting a pure KR late isn't something I thought about before the draft, but it makes a lot of sense.
