Fair.
It's still a problem if a GM trades up for a player in round 1 who can barely get on the field. Benford is getting reps, in part, because of the Elam problem.
GMs need to hit on early picks. Bills may be plateauing because guys like Ford, Epenesa, Basham, and Elam didn't develop. Even Oliver and Edmunds have been above average players but not what the team expected them to become. We'll see about Rousseau. Still hope.
