[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 489226"] Do people still buy Camaros and Impalas? Seriously, I like where you've gone in this thread with Raji. He did not play well in 2011. Pickett outplayed him in the run game with regularity in the both of the past 2 years. And I think we can say we'd not call our run D "good" these past 2 seasons. And when a guy is taken this high in the draft, and folks talk about top 5 money in contract #2, you're not just looking for a guy who occupies blockers in the run game. That's what you expect from a competent 2-down base D starter (Pickett), not a player purported to be a core/star 3-down player. He has to get some consistent pressure up the middle and get QBs off their spot so they're not shooting fish in a barrel post-2.5 seconds. And you want the guy to be running his motor high enough to work off a double team from time to time and blow up a runner. Raji does all that in about 1 out of 3 - 4 games...that's not a top 5 player. If we offer Raji an extension, it should be for an amount he likely won't accept. He can wait until 2014. [/QUOTE]
