re: Stephone Anthony has been nothing short of below average

He's had a good year for a rookie.

Not really. Our pass defense against TE's and RB's has been atrocious this season, and a lot of that falls on the LBs. Anthony makes some big plays, but those are surrounded by poor coverage and blown assignments. LB is also the easiest position on defense to transition to the NFL with. A large majority DROYs are LBs.

I'm not going to call him a bust or anything, but people acting like we killed it with our draft class are wrong. Breaux, and UDFA, has been incredible. Swann was pretty solid throughout the season when he was healthy. Kikaha was awesome in his first 3 or 4 games, but has been poor since. Anthony hasn't played well overall. Peat looks good at RT but doesn't look like a natural OG.
