[CBFF] Garrett Wolfe?

[Jim Ferolie]

I guess I do see what you're saying, but I still don't think it necessarily 
corresponds with how late you're picked. There is NO rookie I'd trust to do 
the job Briggs does. And very few second-year players. Urlacher being as 
useful as he was as a rookie was a shock, even as the No. 8 pick.
