that is why I was asking are experts if they saw him play as opposed to highlights. Some of these guy get drafted in the first round or get huge contract off one or two games and the rest of the time they are not what we think they are. Two players come to mind: Marc Bulgar, in my opinion he was a great back up QB, as a starter he was terrible, he would only get yards in the 4 th Quarter after the Rams were so behind. (2) Tavon Austin, I have a buddy who is a 9 er fan and he is terrified of TA, he picks him faithfully in his fantasy football every year. TA has some great highlights but many people on this board, including myself, could careless if he goes.

It;s no big deal but I have to disagree with you about Bulger. Bulger was as good as advertised IMO--until 2007. What starts in 2007 and lasts through 2009 is consecutive seasons of incredibly over-injured Rams OLs, which made chaos out of everything. It was so bad that in 2007 they lost 10 linemen, 4 for the season and 6 for extended periods. Replacements were getting hurt. As a result MB was also constantly playing injured. Only a handful of rare qbs can play behind OLs THAT beat up (Wilson and Brady can but not many more, and even then in Seattle they're desperate to fix it). And I mean that for 3 seasons it went way beyond "but all teams have injuries." Before that long and deep injury streak, Bulger had 3 consecutive seasons of 90+ qb ratings, which was good for the time.

The thing about the chanciness of 1st round OL is that the college spread makes it harder to judge linemen nowadays.
