We just drafted bad football players. Clarke was never great at WV and he was never a good pass rusher especially. He's never going to be one. At best he profiled as a poor man's Michael Johnson.

Margus Hunt has never actually been good at football. He's a track star who looks good in pads. But he has next to clue what he's doing half the time. He's just not good at football. 

Still had motivation issues from the get go. Zimmer called him out for it on Hard Knocks. He never put it together.

Thompson gets off the line in a hurry but then 75% of the time he's just unsure of where the ball is and the play goes right by him. At least people finally stopped calling him a nose tackle.

Moch was supposed to be David Pollack. But he wasn't good at the sport of football.

Marcus Hardison is the most promising DL we have drafted since Carlos Dunlap and Geno Atkins. That's 5 years. That is not good. Especially considering we have invested: two second rounders, three third rounders and a fourth rounder.

That's terrible given the returns.

Hunt has zero football instincts and hasn't cracked the rotation. So at this point it's safe to say he's not going to suddenly find them in camp next season. Oh he'll look good beating up a 20 year old camp body OT with his bull rush but he's not NFL Material.

Thompson has an excellent first step but like you say quite often just like Hunt doesn't show god football instincts and the play is past him before he reacts.

Clarke ? I'm starting to believe he doesn't have it either
