Sims was the consensus top player on the board. For a team, like us, in dire need of a defensive tackle, he wasn't a bad pick initially. Its when he became lazy and couldnt stay on the field when he became a bust and it didnt take long. Hold out followed by injury followed by lazy = bust. Tyson Jackson wasnt projected to go in the top ten in any mock draft till the days leading up to the draft. He wasnt that talented. He should become a good 3-4 end, but he will never be a Suh, Reggie White, Bruce Smith type guy that is worth that high of a pick. When you reach for a player like that, the pick needs to HIT. I still contend that the best pick for that draft would have been Brian "toilet brush" Orakpo with Mark Sanchez coming in at a close second...and he is only a close second in my book because of the increased risk involved in taking a player out of college that was so inexperienced. Orakpo and Hali would have given us a damn good pass rush for a long time and would have made the defenses come along much better than an average 5-tech. |

You can find any journeyman 3-4 DE and you would get double the production for about 1/10th the cost.

What's concerning to me is that Romeo Crenell is a hell of a DL coach and Jackson hasn't shown anything with the coaching he's provided.
It's like Weis with Cassel. If TJ can't perform with this guy, then there's no ****ing hope for him.

I still have have hope for Tyson Jackson to become a good player, but he will never live up the billing of the #3 spot.
For what we are paying TJ, we could almost have the two best 5-techniques in the NFL |

Its kind of fuzzy as its been a while but I believe that the word was the Packers were targeting him as they felt Raji would not be on the board for them. So he might have been a top10 pick, which speaks mostly to how bad the draft class was for 3-4 ends last year. Not that any of that makes it a good pick.

He was #3 overall in a deep draft and was paid $28 million dollars before he even stepped on the field. He's set the franchise back at least two years, if not more. ****. |

Two year set back for a DE??? JFC, he isn't good, but a two year set back for a DE in a 3-4 is a little extreme. Does that make Jamal Charles a 2 year step forward?
IMO our big step back is Cassel. |
