I would like that to be true, but I can't remember the last time we drafted someone in the mid-late first round that turned out to be half decent other than Mo Pete. I'm not saying there isn't someone there to be had. Guys like Josh Smith, Granger, Prince etc. Have been available. I just don't like our odds.
