In the world in which we now find ourselves in, we can’t sit here and call guy who has started 62 of a possible 64 games in his short 4 year career a bust. i understand that he’s not Ray Lewis, but neither is anyone else besides Ray Ray. He has just been plunged into a brand new defense and is now an interior LB which hopefully will equalize his weakness (pass coverage) because he’s there to run downhill. He has played and contributed, which is really all that you can hope for if your a reasonably rational football fan. 4 yrs only…Ever hear of Troy williamson, Mike Williams, or any other of the hundreds of 1st rounders takin in the last 20 years that were real BUSTS. TT has shown to be an above average talent evaluator, I would give him a much higher mark than 33% success probability.
Lucky for us our team is not going to made are broken by any 1 player, but it sure would be nice to get some playmaking ability on the field no matter what position we go after. We are a very talented, and very younger and very cheap team… theres really only reason for that…my boy TT

Just be glad Mike Sherman doesnt get to pull the trigger on draft day…

The highlights of Wolfs first rounds were Vonnie Holiday and Bubba Franks. Not too impressive. But, Wolf was a great communicator which was why fans loved him.

Thompson is a poor communicator who’s needlessly coy about sharing the logic of his decisions while running a publicly owned and beloved institution, which is why some fans really hate him.

You included A-Rod in the top part, but not in TT’s first-round picks? Don’t you mean that Matthews and Rodgers are TT’s two great first rounders? Those are two great selections. Hawk has been a disappointment given his No. 5 selection, but he still has been a serviceable player–had a couple impact plays last year when used correctly. One INT was stolen by the refs. He’s a great open-field tackler. I wouldn’t call him a bust. Harrell? Yes. But that’s due more to injury. TT lost a good WR to a broken back, just bad luck. Two pro bowlers and a solid player out of 5 first-round picks? I think even Ron Wolf would take that. Here’s to TT plucking another pro bowler or five this year.
