Point taken, but McGahee (and Parrish for that matter) began a run of early smalls that cripples them to this day. As good as those DB's, linebacker and running back may be, the collection of free agents and day two picks at the line of scrimmage isn't getting it done.
If Big Mike was the signature pick he was meant to be, maybe TD builds a team with that sort of identity. McCargo is a similar miss nowadays on the other side. On draft day, who is supposed to be excited about Modrak's opinion on an unpredictable young big ? Who even makes the call ?
