The fans don't seem to think he's that good, but the coaches swear by him.
I said "we have not had a lot of recent success with lower round DL picks."
Peko was drafted a decade ago. I would not consider that recent. Take a look at just the DT we have drafted since Peko. I'm not even going to slog through the morass of DE prospects we have brought in.
2007: Matt Teoaina 6th
2008: Pat Sims 3rd
2009: Clinton McDonald 6th
2010: Geno Atkins 4th
2011: None Drafted
2012: Devon Still 2nd
2012: Brandon Thompson 3rd
2013: None Drafted
2014: None Drafted
2015: Marcus Hardison 4th
And for fun take a look at the UDFA DT we have brought in:
2006: Marcus Lewis
2008: Michael Marquardt
2011: Lolomana Mikaele
2013: Larry Black
2013: Travis Chappelear
2015 DeShawn Williams
2015: DeShawn Williams UDFA
I actually should have said it appears he haven't even tried to have a lot of success with DT.
7 drafted in 10 years for a team that has consistently had questionable DT play is disappointing.
Fueled by satanism, violence, and sodomy, dinosaurs had little chance to survive as a species.
