It's a lot easier to do well when you have early round picks (5, 5, 30, 4, 12) most of the time as SD did from 2001-2005, versus picking 19, 30, 27, 16, 12 from 2006 - 2010. That said, I really like the way Buddy drafts. The only worry I had when he was hired was his age. But he's putting a very competent (and young) scouting staff in place that can carry on after he decides to retire. Our future looks pretty bright for the first time in a long time.
