Luckily Charles is here and one of the best backs in the league, so we don't have to use McCluster like that. Instead, since our WR group blows ass, we can line him up in the slot and toss little baby screens over his head for incompletions.
Let me ask you this question, who is the bigger bust?
Baldwin with the 1st round pick, or McCluster with the 2nd round pick?

Both are busts IMO. Both are similar due to their position selected draft wise, the available talent on the board, and also due to need. One can make an argument that drafting Baldwin was more vital than DMC due to the horrific receiving corp KC had at the time (Kevin Curtis).
DMC had all of 2011 to prove he was a playmaker, despite the shitty circumstances. I'd like to see what he could contribute with Geno but I'm not holding my breath and I would definitely draft Austin this year anyways. His 3 cone and shuttle times won't be significantly different and his 40 will be a full second + faster.
