Considering that Eddie Freeman had 4 sacks and 17 tackles, while seeing a fairly decent amount of play time in his rookie season, I'd be tickled pink if he could contribute as much as he did.
Now if you'd said Junior Siavii; 9 tackles, 1 sack, I might have agreed, but Freeman did pretty well here that year and at the end of his rookie year, there wasn't a person on here who thought he was a bad pick. He fell apart after getting hurt the next year and we gave up on him, but the rookie year was fairly decent. Especially considering it took Ryan Sims, who we took in the first and gave up a 3rd rounder for, up until the 4th game of his 3rd season to match Freeman's sack total.
