2011 doesn't look much better. While Houston was a steal in the third, Baldwin's been invisible, Hudson's out with a broken leg and didn't look that good this year, Jalil Brown is a dope, so on and so forth.

He's been maybe average at best but IMO, far less than average. And who the **** pays a guy $5 million per to be average?

We can always find better picks when we look back at a draft and have the benefit of hindsight.

I can remember all too well the conversations on this board pleading for the likes of Sanchez, Clausen, Aaron Curry, Jason Smith, Sergio Kindle, Eugene Monroe, etc. etc. They all were busts (except for Sanchez who will be a back up in a year or two and out of the league in five years, like Cassel). You may have supported some of those potential picks or similar busts if you are honest.

It is easy to seem like a genius when you can go back in time knowing what you do now and point out who was available at the pick. I'm trying to be fair, which is not a popular position to be in on CP, at times.
