And seriously, we're talking about a 5th round pick here. It's not like we're Oakland taking a safety nobody's heard of in the 2nd. And even Oakland had a reason for that, some justification that in their own mind was enough to pull the trigger.
If the guy's our starting right tackle in 2010, we're not going to care a whit that we took him in the 5th instead of the 7th, and if he's a good one, we're going to end up calling it things like "a great pick" and "a real steal".
