And how do you define "need"? Maybe Weis' version of a need is different from ours. Case-in-point, how many people here are bitching about the Moeaki pick in favor of one-dimensional pass catchers, even if that's not the type of tight end Weis wants.
And by the way, guarantee that most of the players we're bitching about passing up on are going to be average rotational players at the very best.

and i contend that there were several guys that were actually BPA over McCluster and still filled a more impactful need than McCluster does.
just one quick example:
instead of grabbing McCluster, we grab safety Nate Allen to pair up with Eric Berry.
we now have one of the youngest and most talented secondary in the NFL with
Flowers,Allen,Berry,Carr. Both safeties can cover like cornerbacks but are built and tackle like safeties. Totally sic
since we took Allen we don't have to take Lewis in the 5th and we can grab a KR/PR specialist guy there like CB/KR Parrish Cox. With Cox around we don't need Arenas and we could of grab a stud LB or NT(2/3 LB's and 2/3 NT's to choose from) at 2b and our draft looks really freaking solid.
Maybe not as flashy, but still we got really good players and filled really important needs.
