I actually had Tuten and Etienne available with that pick at 133 but I kinda started looking into Giddens a couple weeks back and man...I really do like him a lot.
I'm pretty sure he's become my favorite in that T2 running back group and if I'm sitting there at 133 with him and Sampson on the board...I'd probably take him over Sampson. I think he's going to be able to handle more volume than Sampson.
I struggled a bit at the top of 7. Buchanan is essentially poverty Bolton. Which makes him a rich man's Cochran. So if I can get him and knock Cochran's ass off the roster to save $3 million in cap space, that's worth the pick. I don't see any real ability to develop into a starter, but it was slim pickin' at that point.
Lachey is just a tools grab.
West....might be something. I actually hesitated to take him because I'd be a little surprised if he fell that far. He has really nice swing IOL potential (not unlike Nourzad last season) and that typically gets guys taken in the 6th or so. I certainly wouldn't expect him to be there at the back of 7.
