Pollack flashed potential, but who should Pollack knock off the roster? Justin Smith? Brian Simmons?
I can't justify putting a guy with 28 tackles and 4.5 sacks ahead of either of those guys.

Dhani averaged 110 tackles while Odell had 98 in his lone season. Really, that's the only category that he wins.
- Odell had 5 int's, Dhani had 1 int in 4 seasons combined
- Odell had 5 forced fumbles, Dhani had 5 in 4 seasons combined
- Odell had 9 pass deflections, Dhani averaged 4.3 in his 4 seasons
Odell was a play maker and looked like a pro-bowl caliber player. That's why people talked about him for so long. Dhani was a nice locker room guy and I guess the bow-ties were cool. He was a totally average player though.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
