Sorry..burned too many times picking athletes instead of players. #4 pick should be an immediate impact starter...not a d-line who no matter how high people are on him...always mention how he has a questionable motor and takes plays off...last person we drafted like that? Darrell Russell!!!

Oh ... and Darrell Russell was a great, great football player until he pissed it away on dope. The kid made two Pro Bowls before his 23rd birthday. He was first team All Pro in his second NFL season at the age of 22. Had he stayed clean (and, ultimately, healthy) he could have been an all-time great.
