Quote:Makes you wonder; many people thought Star and Sheldon would be great because of their athleticism, while the pass rushers Dion and Barkevious seemed to have more questions. I guess it is that potential and the sexiness of the edge rusher position that made teams draft them so much higher.

 

It's potential vs production, I'm all for potential but sometimes teams overlook guys that were productive (Sheldon and Star) for the guys with the bigger upside (Dion and Barkevious). Jordan and Mingo flashed at Oregon and LSU respectively but both guys were incredibly inconsistent, Sheldon and Star dominated at their respective schools and that has transferred over to the NFL level. Somtimes you just have to take the best player.
