We spent a 2nd round pick (passed on ILB/OLB Donterrious Thomas) to pick a player that was completely and totally unneccessary.

Now who\'s the dumb one?

Beyond Don Thomas, we passed on further needs such as:

Michael Boulware - now starting at safety for Seattle
Madieu Williams - starting at safety for Cincinnati
Sean Jones - (was) starting at safety for Cleveland, I think he\'s hurt
Keiwan Ratliff - nickel back for Cincy (3rd on depth chart at CB behind Tory James and Deltha O\'Neal ... not bad company)
Shawntae Spencer - starting at CB for San Francisco

And if we just HAD to have a WR...

Darius Watts - Denver\'s #3 WR
Keary Colbert - stepped in nicely for Steve Smith this year in Carolina

These are players taken after Devery Henderson in just the 2nd round. We\'re not even activating a guy who was taken before promising starters for other teams. Devery showed a little ability in the preseason, when competing against flunkies of his calibre, but even then he didn\'t seem able to run any route except the ol\' sandlot, \"just run straight out and I\'ll throw it to you.\" So much for Saban\'s knack for developing talent.

At least we got Courtney Watson that round...
