The fact that we’re even discussing failure/success on a multiple first round draft pick choice from several years ago is EXACTLY my point wrt drafting. It’s impossible to grade them so quickly. Why? Because it’s so subjective, most ppl, including coaches and football executives, will “homer up” for the players they like, create excuses for them, aka injuries, scheme, coaching, playcalling..., heck I’ve even seen some folks use “ bad luck” as an excuse, lol. Could Davenport go out and rack up 15 sacks? Yes, but if so, then why he hasn’t he done it already? Hendrickson was just tied with A.Donald for 2d in the league in sacks with 13.5. Which, btw, is more than Davenport’s career sacks, combined.

Bottom line..., he could..., but he hasn’t..., and he’s had the chances. If we evaluate one player with excuses and reasons as to why they haven’t lived up to their draft selection, then we should be open-minded enough to do it for all.

I’ve said my piece on this AG, I understand your pov, I just disagree with it. Most things here are subjective, just opinions. Percentages though..., not so much.

BikeWeek begins today and I’m just waiting on my girl to get home from work! Chrome is polished, lol! I’ll be away for a while, enjoy your weekend.
We'll be heading out of town ourselves up into Arkansas on Saturday morning to do some picking. Our stock is getting low.
