You're kind of glossing over a lot of detail in this.
The two first round picks suffered severe injuries that ended up de-railing their respective careers. Have to remember how good Rivers was as a rookie, a lot of potential.
I think all things considered Maualuga has lived up to what was expected. I mean, he has been a solid starter for 6 years.
I still think that his record, like you said, is not great. A lot of 3rd and 4th rounders that have missed. If you consider how much quality we have got in Marvin's tenure in other positions later on in the draft, the linebackers have been disappointing. That being said had Pollack and Rivers not been injured things would have been a lot different. Have to think that at 31 (Pollack) and Rivers (29) both would probably still be playing/on the team had things had gone differently for them.
