You're creating a false dichotomy with Herm much like you've done with Tyler.
It's not 'genius' or 'dunce' - there's a lot of room in between. Herm's draft, when compared to his peers (or Scott Pioli, for that matter), fall decidedly in the middle.
Though ultimately your argument that Pollard had a 'shit' attitude colors your entire argument. There was no indication, absolutely none at all, that Pollard was ever a bad guy in the lockerroom or on the field. He was a football rat that loved to hit guys. He had a coach that told him to go out there and decapitate guys.
Then he got frustrated in Mini-camp and the Chiefs used that as their excuse to cut him.
1 incident when he got pissed at a coordinator because he was frustrated while learning a completely new coverage package means he has a 'shit attitude'?
Just because that's what Scotty and his boys told you, that doesn't make it so. Pollard had a great attitude during his time in KC.

Look Pollard sucked ass before he got cut. Bottom line. I said average with a bad attitude. Like I said if he tore it up for the Texans why did they offer him a 1 year contract? Because they have their doubts as well.
And yes DJ was a Vermiel pick. Hali was a Herm pick and I like Hali but he isn't yet an impact player. I will say he shows potential but he cant carry a defense or probably never will so, not an "impact" 1st rounder.
I think Herm was marginally better than Vermiel overall so it looks better.
I do think we need to see something this year out of Pioli.
