Boy, did you say a mouthful First.!! And I AGREE. I see only one real problem there. As I mentioned earlier, the 4th round pick you mention could really be called another 5th rounder if you wanted to. Because of trades, we ended up with the Rams' 4th rounder......which is the bottom of the barrel.!! Number 32 in the 4th round. One pick away from being a 5th rounder.!! STILL...It's better than the rest of the 5th round picks (and the 4th round compensatories..).
I've never been too enthused with the late round picks. They are mostly developmental players at best. And a bunch of them never make it to the second or third year. It's like you rent them for a couple of years, then quietly dump them. Once in a while a worthy candidate shows up though. So its worth it to "take a shot" at the best of whomever is left at that time. I'm with you. I really hope for a couple of strong developmental players there. And with a little luck, maybe we find a gem.!!
