[QUOTE="AmishMafia, post: 479567, member: 2846"] Because being a high round pick does not guarantee success. Looking back at the 56th pick in the draft over the last 18 years, you have: Mike Adams Vereen, Shane Michael Neal Fili Moala Brian Brohm Tim Crowder Chris Chester Darrent Williams Madieu Williams Osi Umenyiora Ladell Betts Tony Dixon Michael Boireau Larry Smith Dorian Boose Mike Minter Derrick Mayes Todd Sauerbrun You probably don't recognize most of those names. I see: Umenyiora and Saurebrun as having good careers. Darrent, Betts, Minter, Mayes and Smith all had their moments. If your expectations are for every player to succeed, that just isn't realistic. Some people are angry that roses have thorns, others are happy that thorn bushes have roses. [/QUOTE]
