Not good enough? OK I'll add a few more - Leigh Montagna, Todd Goldstein, Cameron Ling, Mitch Hahn. And that's not including those who went after pick 37 who also could have been picked up with 35.
All I'm saying is there's a reasonable chance of nabbing quality if we've done our homework.

These were all take within a few picks of 35 in the Draft since 1999. My point is, we're just as likely to select a dud at Pick 35 than a potential serviceable player. The same thing happens at and around pick 47. Therefore, the trade to drop from 10 - 14 and miss out on a top 10 draft pick (no matter how "even" the experts say it is) is just very bewildering. The difference between pick 35 and 47 isn't great in terms of potential talent. Not great enough to warrant a 4 pick slide in Rnd 1.
