Credit to Telesco, I guess, for not overthinking it. But both of those guys were CLEARLY the best guys on the board when they went off.

Agreed, but I would have been ITCHING to move up for both. Telesco, IIRC, didn't for either. He played his hands masterfully for two incredible players at positions of need.
Hell, with SD/LA, it goes even further back than that, well before Telesco. Year after year, I remember SD taking a player I really liked, seemingly, right before KC drafted and we got stuck with the leftovers. Think: what WE did to Buf vis-a-vis McDuffie/Elam. It seems like it happened time after time, but the one I recall most vividly was Olshansky going right ahead of KC's pick and our need for a DT/DE. Who'd we get? Junior ****ing Siavii. **** is etched into my brain, so I'm a bit biased, I suppose.
Who'd you rather have? Ryan Simms or Quinten Jammer? Bernard Pollard or Marcus McNeil?
