I'm all for piling on Maualuga...when he deserves it. He had a terrible season in what, 2012? I don't know if he necessarily deserved a contract with $7 mil front loaded this year, but he's certainly been better than some will give him credit for. He whiffs on more tackles than he should and he's obviously not the best LB in coverage, but he's been solid against the run for an acceptable amount of time in his career. I get that higher pick, higher expectations and whatnot, but once you're in the NFL for a couple of years, your draft status really doesn't mean anything anymore. Being an underwhelming second rounder doesn't make you a terrible football player.
