Stop pickin' on Junior
Come on he was not worthy of where we drafted him.He would have been there in round 3 or 4 if they really wanted him.Im not even sure Kris wilson was worthy of the 2nd rounder we spent on him.DV has said as mentioned before he was a raw project. How can you tell hes a good player?he barely played at all last year and I think he played like what 16 games in college. Total project,lets just hope he stays healthy before you start crying he was a good pick up.

Jr wasn't just raw, he'd hardly played any football. He's got to not only adapt to the NFL level of competition but learn the game while doing it.
DV's probably right, it will take years. Some guys play all 4 years of college and still don't adapt their first or second year in the NFL...

but he's already in the playing rotation at dt... i expect big things from the little guy... i really do... one good thing about playing d-line for gunther, it's almost all go forward and no read and react bullshit (which takes longer for a dt to learn, i would think)... that should work in junior's favor... |

I really think KC's plan was to trade out of the first round, and draft Igor Olshansky with that pick. When SD nabbed him right before us, KC hit the panic button, and took the next best DT on the board.
Eddie Freeman looks dominating in NFL Europe. He is just so big, I can't imagine why we couldn't have found a spot for him. |

Perhaps it's fair to say that we haven't given Junior enough time to make a good assessement yet, but to call him a "good player" is, quite frankly, absurd.
