I don't think so. He had a couple of standout games (one in the playoffs I'd like to forget), but was he anywhere what Jimmy Graham was with Drew Brees?

Secondly, for the No. 6 pick, did he really have that big an impact on the overall winning of that team? An impressive role player, contributor - yes...

But did him taking the field elevate the team like a franchise QB, shut-down CB, Dominant D-Lineman, or an Alka-Seltzer Neutralizer on the offensive line? Not even close...

Weigh his overall ranking amongst his peers at the position - Gronk, Graham, Tony Gonzalez, Jason Witten, Antonio Gates, Greg Olsen, Dallas Clark...

He never had 1000 ReYds in a season; only two (2) seasons of double digit ReTds (13), the 1st wasn't until Year 4; he avg just 3 ReTD avg in all the other seasons...

For that pick, like Reggie Bush picked in the same draft, there was all that buzz, and well, just a solid career?

Do really you want solid from the 6th pick? and not being an offensive lineman?

For me, that's bust, maybe not Tony Mandarich bust, but a bust for that high a pick...

I think he got drafted into the wrong offense. Never played with a great QB. If we had him in his prime he’d have numbers like Gonzalez.
