Tatupu is a second round pick, whom everyone said was a reach.
But I'll agree that the Hawks have done a fairly poor job with the first round picks the last couple of years. They've been lucky to get good players elsewhere in the draft though.
2003- First Round Pick Marcus Trufant (good pick), got Ken Hamlin in the 2nd.
2004- First Round Pick Marcus Tubbs (don't know how he's doing), got Michael Bouleware in the 2nd
2005- First Round Pick Chris Spencer (year or 2 away from starting) got Lofa Tatupu in the 2nd, and LeRoy Hill in the 3rd.
I also like their first two picks from this year, Kelly Jennings and Darryl Tapp.
I actually like the trade for Seattle. Branch,Jackson,Burleson,Engram,Hackett is a decent WR corp.
