not sure I agree.
Sims was the consensus top player on the board. For a team, like us, in dire need of a defensive tackle, he wasn't a bad pick initially. Its when he became lazy and couldnt stay on the field when he became a bust and it didnt take long. Hold out followed by injury followed by lazy = bust.
Tyson Jackson wasnt projected to go in the top ten in any mock draft till the days leading up to the draft. He wasnt that talented. He should become a good 3-4 end, but he will never be a Suh, Reggie White, Bruce Smith type guy that is worth that high of a pick.
When you reach for a player like that, the pick needs to HIT.
I still contend that the best pick for that draft would have been Brian "toilet brush" Orakpo with Mark Sanchez coming in at a close second...and he is only a close second in my book because of the increased risk involved in taking a player out of college that was so inexperienced.
Orakpo and Hali would have given us a damn good pass rush for a long time and would have made the defenses come along much better than an average 5-tech.
