He honestly has all the athletic ability to do this job. I think it's a combination of being Rob Ryan's pick and never being able to actually learn the defense. He was given more rope in his first year and masked a lot of his faults with his athleticism. Well it's Dennis Allen's defense now and his rope is shorter and it isn't his player.

which was stupid to use the pick in the first place knowing Rob was going to fail and put in every position to fail.

How do these fricks make these picks? SJB still blows me away as a wasted 2nd rounder, but Anthony was part of the JG trade so it really diminishes that "win" for us. I love Unger so it worked out but imagine if we did the smart thing and went for Kendricks which I and many others on here loved. And then Kikaha. Trust me, I saw the 19 sacks too, but for frick's sake did they not see his injuries? I don't get how this team can have such awful misses in the higher rounds like this. I know someone will post we're not that far off from the rest of the league when you look at the last 10 years blah blah, but look at 2012*, 2014, and 2015. It's pretty bad and we have wasted a HoF QB because of it. Obviously that POS, Goodell fricked us with 2012 but we didn't help ourselves by trading our first the year before.

Just saw this while looking at our picks
