Why even draft at all since we've had so much success with UDFA's?

I'm sorry but your thought process is pretty damn stupid.
How many quality OL are taken every year in the later rounds of the draft? It's much easier to pick up a good OL late than it is a skill player. That's not a thought process, that's a fact of the draft. How many guards and centers are taken in the first 2 rounds on average each draft? 99% of NFL GM's can't be wrong. Loomis/Payton say BPA, so how do you pass on an impact skill player for a need at OL that you can easily fill two rounds later? Do you even have a thought process?

Troy Aikman and Michael Irvin were both drafted early.

P-rob was a former first rounder and I feel will excell under Ryan's scheme.
I agree a ton with this. I wanted Verrett because he's a bad, bad man, but other than him, I don't see any great need for a corner. White was fantastic last year, P-Rob has shown signs of being a very good no. 2 and Champ is a future HOFer. And we have the best 3-safety group in the league to cover any weakness at corner.

Plenty. Many fall through the cracks.

I don't disagree.

That is actually a thought process.

Not many. But the ones that are, have a high impact/success rate. So if there is a guy there that we like and take, his chances of making an impact is pretty high. With that said, I've always been a proponent of taking lineman later as opposed to being early.

Loomis/Payton say BPA, so how do you pass on an impact skill player for a need at OL that you can easily fill two rounds later?
You know what BPA means? Best player available. Not best skill position player available. How do you know that player won't be an offensive lineman? Just because we've hit on plenty of OL in the mid rounds, doesn't mean it will always be the case. BPA... lineman are included in that "thought process".

Do you even have a thought process?
Sure do. My "thought process" is that you made a stupid generalization and assumption that every 2nd round OL we take will end up being Charles Brown and every later round OL we take will be an All Pro. My other "thought process" is that you have no clue what the hell BPA means.

Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege.

All little common sense goes a long way.

High post count obviously doesn't = high IQ.

I'm hearing D'Anthony Thomas. No wait, that's just me imagining the most awesome offense ever.

Re: second round - what ya want?

My list for tonights wants
We would get one of these as i have no RBs or QBs as i feel that we do not need a QB at all and can pick up a RB later on as they will be RB3/4 anyway.
I would be as much inclined to get a OG now and bring in Goodwin for a year to compete with Lelito at C than reach too highly for a Centre.It would make sense with a lack of third round pick too. Not quite as keen on Colvin or Thomas now with injury risks unless we bring in Goodwin or trade out of round 2 to get a round 3 and 4/5
