So, Mangold wasn't considered a reach at the time. Donte Whitner was a "reach" when he was selected #8 by the Bills. Cromartie was coming off an injury, so going #19 was a surprise too. It's also interesting to note what I call "revisionist history" concerning DeMeco Ryans. It's been said how we were lucky to get what many considered to be a 1st round talent in the 2nd round. People tend to forget that he was projected to go around #30 and we selected him at the very top of the 2nd round with #33. The way people talk about it, he was a top 10 pick who miraculously slid down to the 2nd round. Last edited by Roy P; 05-02-2008 at 11:18 PM. |
