I guess you could also say that brady being picked in the 6th round was dumb luck, but i will take that kind of luck every year, of course, the patriots consistently have good drafts, so maybe picking players in later rounds isn't all "dumb luck" after all.
p.s. slayton is playing at a pro bowl level in his rookie season as well.

Texans had 2 picks in the third round of this years Draft in which they selected Antwaan Moulden followed by Steve Slaton. So like I said, dumb luck. And the Brady pick in the 6th round by the Pats wasn't dumb luck, it was incredibly dumb luck. No, make that World-Class dumb luck. But I would agree with your remark about Slaton & Brown vs Clady - I'd also be hard-pressed to make that trade. But as you say, its still too soon to know for sure about that comparison.
But except for Okoye (who's starting to look like a 4-letter word that begins with "B"), Smith & Kubiak get an A for their Draft performances so far. Now if
only we could get the same kind of results out of their FA selections ?
