Since 1998, 11 corners have been selected in the top 10. Five of them went on to become Pro Bowlers, another five became solid starters, and only one (Duane Starks) ultimately was a bust. -- Boston Herald Maybe we should stay at 10 and take a corner.

I don't consider Starks a bust. He was an important piece on the Ravens winning a SuperBowl. He and McAllister made a very good duo for them for years. He just hasn't been able to shake the injury bug and age has caught up with him. He's been in the league for close to 10 years and has a ring... not exactly a bust.

Yeah i kind of thought that was not a fair assesment on Starks myself.

By the way Papz....both McAlister and Starks were #10 picks

Yea, but was any of these guys picked by the Saints? Dikta and Venturi would have screwed the up for sure.
