Is this common or are we just the Jets?

"The first guy we looked at was awful," Tannenbaum remembers. "The second guy we looked at was worse."

The final player's video package never made it into the DVD player.

"The reason we took the third guy is that we didn't have enough time to watch the tape," Tannenbaum admits.

Two years later, Matt Slauson, the 193rd pick of the draft, is a starter for one of the best offensive lines in the league.

It's pretty common. People get souped about those comp picks in the 6th and 7th rounds, but in reality those picks are borderline trash. You're basically just keeping your fingers crossed for a guy who can make the team at those slots. The whole 'throwing darts' analogy doesn't really hold until the late rounds. There's no point in targeting anyone, so you're better off just weeding out who you wouldn't want.
