Chester Pitts is going to be remembered as one of the elite guys from that draft. A player that never made a Pro Bowl.

Yea that's what I really was trying to say - no big-talent at the top end of the Draft. Some real good OT prospects, but otherwise what is really there ?
QBs look iffy, no real stud defensive players, skill positions marginal. Its a good year to have a mid-teen (or higher) pick instead of top 5 or even top 10. Re Pitts, can you just imagine if he'd have been drafted by somebody like the Steelers or Pats instead of us ? Given his incredible durability and steadiness along with versatility and descent level of talent, he easily could have been a perennial pro-bowler.
