He was already suspect to me. Then he got in a couple of games toward the end of the season... Didn't look terrible. 2016 rolls around, and I hear Willie Anderson talking about all if these weaknesses he needs to work on... Opening day rolls around and the Jets just pummel the guy (to be fair they pummeled the entire line)... What a bust.
People were seriously saying he was a top ten pick if he wasn't injured...
I think the pick itself was a bit suspect BUT the idea behind it was fantastic. Two tackles in the first two rounds with the expectation of both your bookends leaving. Both decent prospects, save money and still have adequate protection. It just happened that NEITHER of them have really panned out.
