Quote:Tyson Alualu truly summarizes everything wrong with this organization.

I think it's a combination of Alualu and Blackmon. Alualu is what happens when your GM puts all his chips in on the "nice guy, team leader, base hit" philosophy and lands a decidedly mediocre player with a top-ten pick. Blackmon is what happens when that same GM finally realizes that base hits in the top ten picks aren't going to keep him employed, so he throws caution to the wind and drafts a guy that everyone but Gene Smith and Jeff Fisher could tell was going to smoke and drink his way out of the NFL in two years flat.

 

Basically, Alualu gets you into the mess, and Blackmon makes it ten times worse.
