[QUOTE="adambr2, post: 535224, member: 7277"] Sure, you get lucky and get instant contributors in the early rounds in the draft like with Lacy and Matthews, but it isn't always the case. Cobb was pretty much a non-factor in the offense in his rookie year, but I think most of us expected him to turn into an impact player eventually, which he has. Also, not all 1st round picks are created equal. It's a lot easier to get an instant contributor in the top 5 than it is where we have been picking the last 5 years (somewhere 21+ this year, 26 last year, 28, 32, and 23. ) There have been complaints that Datone Jones isn't Ziggy Ansah -- well, if we could have gotten Ziggy Ansah at #26 I'm sure we probably would have. Doesn't work that way. So much difference in value between the #5 and #26 draft picks. [/QUOTE]
