They've ran a hell of a lot of DL through here since the days of Dunlap, Peko, Atkins and Johnson, and you're telling me that the only one that stuck is Sam Hubbard?? I chose that position group because Marion Hobby has been around for a long time, spanning two coaching regimes, and it's a perfect example.
Most all of those picks on DL over the years were guys that were somewhat outstanding in their college careers, it's damn near impossible to misjudge the pick on all of them.
Woof. That's even worse than I remembered.
It always weirds me out when I see teams like Pittsburgh and Baltimore hit home runs on mid to late 1st rounders. They take the best center. or guard. Or safety. We're talking HOF caliber talent. We take some guy that fell but had a fantastic eval in draft prep. Pittsburgh got the most feared pass rusher in the league with a late first rounder. The got Cam Heyward, who seems to be an ageless monster that will terrorize us forever. It feels like he's been in the league for two decades. They get Porter Jr and actually know how to use him. The Ravens do the same shit until they decide to draft a WR which rarely works out for them.
We get Murphy. Or Hill. Guys that should have gone earlier but for some reason got passed on by all these other teams. Hmmmmmm.
