Re-examining the Johnathan Sullivan pick

I agree, that was a bad pick and I never understood why(they picked him), If I remember correctly we even traded away a 1st round pick to move up and draft this guy??? I don't ever remember hearing this guys name that much in college for him to be a guy you trade away a first round pick to get. I'm an LSU fan so I have some familiarity with Georgia. I don't ever remember him being this super dominating linemen. What I think happened was Sullivan was guy with all of the right measurables and he ran a great 40 time and had a great scouting combine so the NFL scouts threw his college career out the window thinking they could coach guys like Sullivan up(sometimes they can but imo too many times they do not) regardless of anything else. I think you need to find guys that have that right mix of both.


I believe the NFL(many scouts, GM's, coaches) have a certain degree of arrogance when it comes to situations like this, they think they can take a guy that is really just big and fast and looks good on paper and coach him into the next Bruce Smith.....
