At least I couldn't find any. I recall at the time of the accident teammates saying the behavior was out of character. So, you can call the pick a bust, but I couldn't hold it against the GM. How was he to anticipate that event? Ruggs was looking like he could really impact games. And for the record, I didn't think much of Mayock as a GM.I dont even hold the Harrell pick against Wolf.  Sure he was injured in college. But man, was he Explosive!  No injury history and he is long gone by our pick. So, in a poor draft year, why not grab a guy who has HOF potential rather than hope to get an average starter? It's a no brainer to take that risk in that situation.Look at the 2007 draft. There were just a few really good players after Harrell, but a bunch of average to below average guys.</blockquote>
