Let me explain. Zeitler and Iloka are really the only two "gems" in that. Kirkpatrick isn't a bust yet, but he's actually been pretty below average overall and hasn't lived up to his first round status yet.

I wouldn't criticize fans around here as much for acting like we can't judge Dre until his 4th season when there is a thread on the very board laughing about a guy the Steelers have had for a few months having a hard time adjusting to the NFL.
