Rush backers or DE rush guys are both tough to evaluate in their skills translating to the NFL and just tough to find at about any level. Who thought, for example that Jared Allen would be what he's become? That's a longshot that came in, obviously.

How about Dwight Freeney who was thought to be a late first rounder that Polian took at #13 in the first round. Polian goes back.....looks....throws.....and SCORES! Manny Lawson is another guy thought to be skilled at this discipline and yet, with the 9ers, he's been what? Average or non-impactful?

You just don't know about these types of guys.
