Agreed about the need for quality but is not about fitting 9 rookies.
If you get 9 players you have a higher probability to find 4 or 5 worth the team.
If you only pick 5/6 players then you need more luck.

I still don't see how to pick another 2nd round pick.

The difference between a 6th round Draft choice and all the UDFAs is not that big, but there might be a difference between a #50 ovr and #62 ovr. So try to get few, but very good players with your Draft picks and fill the roster with UDFAs and you will have the same chance of finding the same number of quality players than using all your Draft picks. But you'll have a better chance of getting studs in the Draft, and Ted Thompson already proved that he has a nose for those UDFA guys.

Unless something unexpected happens our pick at #62 will be a reach as we could get about the same quality in the
3rd round.
It's either a trade up or a trade down to me I don't like to be at #62.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

He is such a dumbass when it comes to drafting, and don't give me this shit of look at all the guys that make the team. Of course it looks like a good draft record when he won't bring in any other teams players so he has to play the guys he drafted.

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

Yeah, that great 2nd round...can't wait for the next Jerrel Worthy (a trade up...TT was sure), Pat Lee, or Mike Neal. the only good defensive picks to come from R2 in TT's tenure were Nick Collins and Casey Hayward and we haven't seen enough of Hayward yet.

If he goes O we might have a chance at getting a good player. I want Tevin Coleman if he doesn't go to Dallas who I think is going to nab him. Or... Maxx Williams. For the love of, don't take another bust defender. We've had too many of those already.

My gut says he reaches for Paul Dawson because he'll be the only noteworthy ILB on the board due to his 4.9+ 40.

It's a position he let go fallow for too many years. now his back is against the wall.
Any ILB would have been a reach in the 1st round anyway.

Than we have vastly over valued about 5 or 6 current players.
