Kubes and Smith are doing a tremendous job of finding talent through both the draft and FA, but let's not go overboard giving guys credit who haven't done anything yet.

well, you're going overboard with your reply homie. i said they were good 3rd round draft picks, not all-star future hall-of-famers.
big difference. the biggest difference though, is that kubiak makes good use of his 3rd round picks. at least his guys have potential to be all-stars, maybe a HOFer comes out of it but i'm not betting on it. look at, for an easy example, casserly's 3rd round selections. fred weary, he's alright. charles hill, who? seth wand, sucked! dave ragone, worse than picking carr the year before! vernand morency, really? let's not forget the sweeping bust that took, among other things, a 3rd rounder to get babin.
the point is, kubiak's selections and coaching make a 3rd round worth much more than the end of jason taylor's career.
