Total busts is a bit to harsh but you can't spend 1st round draft picks on guys that struggle to be average.
Kirkpatrick has been a very good CB for us in the past. The hate for him around here is not warranted.
In 2015 Dre played 97% of the snaps on a defense that finished ranked 5th in the league in pass efficiency. Of the 75 CBs that qualified for the stats compiled by ProFootballOutsiders Dre ranked 18th in yards per target allowed, 32nd in success rate (formula based on stats), and top 25 in completion percentage allowed.
In 2016 Dre played 94% of the snaps for a team that again finished 5th in pass efficiency. Individually he ranked 5th in the league in yds per play and 18th in success rate yet.
