Here are the 5 picks on either side of him. Based on this, he was a good pick. Only Antonio Cromartie and Davin Joseph have made a Pro Bowl. Joseph was an alternate once, and Cromartie's career is really sputtering. I would say that Hali is the best or second best player out of that bunch.
14 Philadelphia Eagles Brodrick Bunkley Defensive Tackle Florida State
15 St. Louis Rams (from Atlanta Falcons via Denver) Tye Hill CB Clemson
16 Miami Dolphins Jason Allen Safety Tennessee
17 Minnesota Vikings Chad Greenway Linebacker Iowa
18 Dallas Cowboys Bobby Carpenter Linebacker Ohio State
19 San Diego Chargers Antonio Cromartie Cornerback Florida State
20 Kansas City Chiefs Tamba Hali Defensive End Penn State
21 New England Patriots Laurence Maroney Running back Minnesota
22 San Francisco 49ers Manny Lawson LB NC State
23 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Davin Joseph Guard Oklahoma
24 Cincinnati Bengals Johnathan Joseph Cornerback South Carolina
