i agree with this, plus how do you give the robinson pick a better grade than the ellis pick?

As it stands right now, it was a quality value at that pick; look Porter is going be a FA after 2011; so he's got a year to learn the system and take hold...

And don't misunderstand, I'd like to keep Porter, but they were smart to take a talented DB at that position, allowing a year of development...

When you consider we moved up for Ellis, Seventh Pick, and the Bullshinski with his Rookie holdout, the expectations are higher (Twelve sacks in Three Seasons, Two Fumbles/Minimal Impact)...

At least Bush has given us some moments with the big play...

Bush's big plays have been few and far between. He was the second pick in the draft. We passed on Ngata and Vernon Davis for this guy. We also passed on everyone else in the draft that wasn't Mario Williams. HE WAS THE SECOND PICK! I like Bush and would like to keep him around at a good price, but he's a bust and he's the biggest bust of the Payton/Loomis era.
