Oh I know and I didn't knock Dorsey at the time. I just think this whole surprising and sucks to cut a third round pick, is bad for Russell. Teams will ask: why did KC cut a third round pick? Now someone will probably claim him because of where he was picked but he didn't show anything so it's more of a leap of faith than anything else.

I heard before the season started there are more Undrafted FA players in the league now than there are 1st and 2nd round draft picks.
Thats a pretty telling statistic on the complexity and crapshoot of the draft. |

Just because you draft a guy doesn't mean he's gonna make the team or that he's better than what's on the roster. After drafting as many DB's as we did, we had to know at least one would be cut. This was a ballsy move by Dorsey, and with an improving roster i expect more of this. Long gone are the days in which every pick is guaranteed a spot. We're simply not that talentless anymore.

Look at Revis last year (and this year): He's a shell of his former self. The wheels fall off at 29 for CB's more often than not. Cooks was at least a yard ahead of Smith in pursuit. |

Going back to this, yes, he was suspended for academic fraud. Terez Paylor also indicated that Russell was having problems with the terminology, which was supposedly the reason why he was behind.
Pure speculation but if you put 2 and 2 together, maybe he has a learning disability, which led to cheating and his issue with terminology. Just a guess. |

I'm not suggesting this is the case but didn't we cut and then resign a couple of players to the roster multiple times last season? I wonder if Dorsey tries to extend his roster based on the week's opponent?

Also, lets not pretend that this is some sort of habit of Dorsey's. This idea that the scouting department is failing is dumb considering Dorsey has found some jewels in the 3rd that have stuck around just fine...

By signing him in Week 2, they can release and re-sign him at any time and only owe him one week's salary. |

I never did like that kid's holdout, if we are lucky enough to put him on the PS this might turn out to be a good move. Not only that, but it sends a msg to the rest of the players.

By that measure, an undrafted college free agent like Charcandrick West isn't a good player because he wasn't drafted. |
