whatever happend to sedrick hodge and courtney watson ?
Watson was a shame. He showed a lot of promise his rookie year, don't know what quite happened after that.
There were rumors of weight issues, drug and alcohol abuse, motivation.
I still say a lot of our troubles with young guys not developing was Jim Haslett and his groupe of coaches. I can't remember one significant player that was drafted (minus Deuce) that actually lived up or developed into a good player.
I mean there were too many players that just never deveoped; Michael Hawthorne, Sedrick Hodge, Kenny Smith, Onome Ojo, James Allen, Keyou Craver, Mel Mitchel, Johathan Sullivan, Cie Grant, Courtney Watson, Alfred Fincher, Adrian McPherson. The only real late round pick of Hasletts team that exceeded expectations was Mike Karney (they did know how to pick FB's).
You look how long that list is of players that just didn't pan out compared to the players that actually did. Even then most of the "good" picks only happened in the early rounds. I still believe, had guys like Watson, James Allen, Sedrick Hodge, Mel Mitchel, etc been drafted by a team like New England things may have been different for them.
