Cromartie is just another example of why you don't draft athletes, you draft football players. Athletes will have those big years now and then, but they are few and far between. Football players who play at a high level do so consistently. Guys like Ray Lewis and Zach Thomas didn't measure out on the scale or height or 40 as good as a lot of guys, but they were awesome FOOTBALL PLAYERS. Not some ridiculous athlete who has no football instincts or cares about the game. Those guys generally don't last for very long no matter how talented they are from an athletic stand point.
