What amazes mt is the xpectations people around here had for a fourth round pick like Dawson.

Couple issues here. 2014 was tw0 years ago and that was a different Leon Hall then we had this year.

The expectations are because Dawson was thought by many to be the best inside LB in the draft but character issues dropped him (many had him as a 2nd rounder pre draft). It is a very similar story to Burffict really just not as highly publicized. He has been compared to Lavonte David coming out, and while he may have went in the 4th round that doesn't mean it is a indictment to his talent just the amount of risk teams were willing to take on it.

Heck Travetheon was a 6th rounder.
