Its interesting that BP has gotten more out of late rd and discards then he has with first day picks on the O line. Say what you want, getting a whole seasons start as a rookie for a 6th rd pick (Petitti) is doing quite good. THen someone that virtually everyone had given up on is now our solid starter at RT (Colombo). Now we have McQ who could end up as a starter at LT, or at least quality backup at both tackles. For a 7th rd pick. Gurode who was a guard for two years and nothing all that great, then on his second and clearly last shot-that apparently was also BPs call- wins the job at Center and ends up in the Pro Bowl. On the other hand you have ROgers, a highly regarded pick from a major program who turns out has no heart. Peterman-the real mystery- apparently just not quick enough- another highly regarded pick from a major school. Those are the two biggest busts in all ways that we had on the BP watch. Then there is Johnson; we did get two decent years of starts from him; so its really hard to call him a bust. He was another highly regarded prospect from a major program.
