Damn, this was a hell of a draft. The Minnifield pick ended up being a bust due to a string of injuries and Adams has disappointed, but Olivier Vernon, Nigel Bradham, and Trumaine Johnson are all excellent players and starters. LeRibeus has become the starting C in Washington and seems to be doing well there. I completely rebuilt the Detroit D in one season and found them a solid interior lineman to boot.

Holy. Shit.
I'm sooooooo fired. That's "Pioli '09" bad. I'm not sure any of these guys are even still in football. This draft is almost impossibly terrible. Though in my defense, I'm not the idiot that took Coples and made him a 3-4 OLB. He was showing some decent ability as a 4-3 DE before the Jets started ****ing with him after they took Richardson. If he'd have gone to Carolina and gotten to just play DE, he'd have been a 7-8 sack/season guy, IMO.
Still doesn't excuse the rest of those shit picks, though.
