And yes I would take Hutch's stat line to date over Travon's even considering the TFL difference, but Travon is not necessarily playing poorly.  He does need to start getting to the QB, however.  I'm willing to give him to the halfway point before seriously questioning the pick considering his circumstances and athleticism.  He is very likely not yet who he is going to be a year or two from now.

Another fun stat, Walker has 4 QB hurries this season. Hutch has TEN, and with little help around him. Walker had no control over where he got picked, but the thinking that someone capable of being the first pick of the darft needed two full seasons to show his potential is crazy talk. I have a feeling the team is cursed to have no pass rush, we could pick an LT in his prime and have him end the year with 5 sacks.

Puts things a bit more into perspective.

worse, we coulda then ended up saddled with A. A. Ron

Fire Baalke in the off season. If this team continues to slip in trench play. There's no excuses.

Addressed OT, twice, in RD1 and RD7. Added guys like Wells in the market that physically are done for the year. Completely neglected the interior.

Then, you take a TE, RB, ILB and big DE that was not known for rushing the QB in college without addressing legitimate needs still being there for both lines.

Strange, Bigsby, Miller on IR and Lacy have done relatively nothing in 3 weeks already.

I would look at guys like Adam Peters under John Lynch or Brandt Tilis from Kansas City under Mike Borgonzi.
