A great move by Casserly...

Here's my opinion about the draft in general. When you draft someone in the first round, you should expect them to start within the first year. Now, if they end up sucking, then they should be considered a bust. Look, we haven't ended up with a Ryan Leaf type bust, and those are the ones we should be worried about.
As far as Hollings, did I see someone say that he was a 2nd round draft pick? 'Cause I looked him up, and he wasn't drafted. I could have sworn anyway that he was brought in as a free agent, like 3 weeks into the 2003 season? I don't remember for sure though.

I believe Hollings was picked up in the supplemental draft.

We used the Raiders 2nd round pick (which we got for our 3rd and 7th) to get Hollings in the Supplemental Draft. The thought was that that pick was the lower risk of our 2 2nd round picks since the Raiders had just come from the Superbowl. Due to the Raiders collapse that pick ended up being the 1st pick in the 2nd round.
