Let's revisit the DL position.

Eh - Kpassagnon wasn't a 'whiff' - just a fairly ordinary 2nd round pick.

Guys like Malik McDowell, Forrest Lamp, Quincy Wilson, Ryan Anderson, Demarcus Walker, Deshone Kizer, Obi Mlifonwu, on and on and on are more 'whiffs'. The 2nd round is about 2/3 guys who don't ever become meaningful difference makers every year.

My preference among available DL that year when we took KPass was Chris Wormley and he's effectively been the same player as K-Pass has (and he didn't really do anything for Baltimore; he's only been valuable in Pitt).

Tanoh was a solid rotational player who had a massive play for us in the SB. He was actually playing quite well for NOLA before getting hurt. He wasn't a bust, he was just not any sort difference maker.
