But still, i was far from thrilled about him, as were many others... he didn't have a particular thing that jumped out about him. Glad to be wrong on that one... |

A "change of scenery" can make a difference. Draft position should not be a major factor in the success of moving to a new team. Unless it's a late round pick (or an undrafted player), which normally has marginal talent relevant to the rest of the league.

Now that's a really good one. We even had that joker for a while, and then let him go right before he exploded. You wonder what happened there. I remember seeing some show where they were attributing it to yoga training or something, but there had to be something else.

Tommy Maddux - First Round pick in Denver who was terrible. Years later he makes the playoffs in Pittsburgh after selling insurance...
Jimmy Smith - 2nd round pick in Dallas. Went on to be a badass in Jacksonville. |

Hearst is a good example. He was nothing in Arizona, despite being a "can't miss" prospect. That one really makes you wonder.
