I would have to concur with this assessment. Getting T.J. Yates wasn't a bad insurance policy

Many of us are still trying to get the story on our other 2nd round pick, the CB from Miami, otherwise known as the "invisible man" ?

Brandon Harris was drafted when there was a perceived need for another CB. Then we acquired CB Jonathon Joseph, and S Daniel Manning after the new CB. They have pretty well solved the "perceived" need, so now he will just have to wait his turn. Kareem Jackson has certainly played better with the addition of the FAs, as has the mighty Quinn. Of course the sudden appearance of a fierce pass rush has not hurt either.

I have been very happy with the addition of Jason Allen. I'd like to see him on the field more thank Kareem Jackson....but that's me.

Now that we are 10-3 (with 3 games still to play), and with the division championship wrapped up, I will say that the 2011 Draft was our best Draft ever. 1-J.J. Watt, 2a-Brooks Reid, and especially #5 T.J. Terrific, there is no doubt in my mind.

2006 and 2009 were pretty good drafts as well. But ok, in this moment 2011 looks pretty good as well.

Prefer 2006. 3 Pro Bowlers in OD, Mario, and Ryans. Spencer and Winston added 2 good tackles. Anderson hung around a few years as the last pick.

I think T.J. will turn out to be as good for the offense, as Reed and Watt has for the defense. Of course the Atlanta game will be a tough place to begin his starting career.
