I personally think it'd ALWAYS be a good idea to evaluate a players coaching when dealing with guys like M.J., who may have under achieved. I think this is a good way to go about finding 2nd round guys who wind up being top of their class. Find out whether his coaching sucked, he is uncoachable, or has maxed out his potential. Does that not sound right?

Sure it sounds right, but Johnson didn't even start until his senior year. Did poor coaching only hurt him and not the other defensive linemen, despite the fact they have less talent? Did poor coaching make him skip out on the Senior Bowl when he could have received NFL-level coaching?
Also, I'm not a big believer in poor coaching being the reason KC's d-line has not produced. I'd say that has more to do with poor scouting and not getting the best guys for your system.
