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

YES!........But don't they say the same thing almost every year? So don't fall in love with the first round to the point that you want to trade up, as some nerd does on this board does almost every year. Do what we have been doing. If things stay the same and Maclin is the BPA at #15, and we really don't need WR at this point, maybe we should trade down. I might add though, that Flacco has turned out to be a damned good QB! I like what we did, gaining an extra 3rd round pick that turned out to be Slaton, and still garnered us a good OLT.
