I guess. I've been watching the NFL for about 40 years, so I've seen plenty of 1st and 2nd rounders not make it across the league.
Plus, there was a lot of chaff right here on CP about whether Karlaftis was really going to make it/was even worthy of a first-round pick. Though at 30(think he went at 30?), that's basically a high 2nd rounder, imo. Shit like, 'not bendy enough,' or 'he only got 4 sacks last year,' or whatever. As I recall I made the suggestion on draft day that he could work on his 'bend,' but look at how he played the game, which is to say he could read and react at a very high level, and he was used to playing from different spots, not just DE. In short, he's a very cerebral player, not just a really strong bull-rusher.
And early on McDuffie got some crap here as well, as I recall. Something about not being fast enough. Oh, and his arms were too short, lol.
It's all good though. I've been playing the Devil's advocate and/or soft troll since mid-season last year, and i'll probably keep it up this year, so I expect to get some shit this season.
