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.</blockquote>
