These same guys who are grading the draft picks are the same guys who had Browner and Blackstock going in the first round in their mock drafts two weeks ago.

All of the top college players got knocked in the press leading up to the draft. The best college lineman was Pollack, the best college linebacker was Johnson and the best college corner was Rolle. All three of them suddenly had big question marks once the final Bowl game was played. All of a sudden it was too short, not physical, maybe a safety. Nothing changed after those bowl games, in fact all three of the guys ran well at the combine and/or workouts. Writers need things to write about, and it's always easy to take a shot at a leader.

"In 18 career games against Top 25 opponents, Johnson registered 175 tackles, 4½ sacks, 31 stops behind the line of scrimmage, nine pass deflections, four interceptions, 19 quarterback pressures, three caused fumbles and a fumble recovery. " You don't put up numbers like those against top talent by avoiding contact and not being physical.
