A Breakdown of Dee Ford

Very similar players in college actually.

Zombo is a little bigger at 6'3 1/2", 255 lb., but both had similar pro day results.

The problem here is that because we took Dee Ford with a first round pick, everyone starts washing his balls immediately.

Same thing happened with Branden Albert. Everyone just naturally assumed that because the team used a first rounder on him that he was going to end up being a super stud. "Wait until next year." "He's got to grow into the position." Yada, yada, yada. I expect we'll have the same shit being said about Ford because people just can't envision a team wasting a first rounder on a guy who is going to end up being a mediocre at best type of player.

Dee Ford is getting a pole polishing around here, when, in fact, he was basically a smaller version of Zombo in college with a little less production. But because Zombo was a FA, he sucks, while we spent a first on Ford, so he's going to be the savior of our horrible pass rush (that features two All-Pro level players already who've each averaged double figure sacks the past two seasons).
