The funny part is that they do tend to have a tougher time in the first 2 rounds, but mid/late/UDFA picks have worked out really well for them.

As for those two drafts, they've already provided really good depth and next year could see 3+ starters plus another 5+ key depth pieces. That's not even including any of the UDFA picked up over those two seasons. If that's their low point, I'll take it. Sherman has already said numerous times that Simon is ahead of where he was at this point in his career.

They're not afraid to develop guys over a few seasons just like they're not afraid to put them into a prominent role if they're ready. I'd imagine the goal for the most part is to make the roster good enough that rookies will get a year or two of second tier duty before becoming full time starters.
