Albert Hayneswerth slipped in the draft because people were concerned about his dedication to football and about some of his less-than-constuctive relationships with his college teammates. That's how he fell to Tennessee; he has plenty of raw talent.

Ignoring the criminal aspects of the following analogy, I suspect that Haynesworth is a latter day Darrell Russell. Does not always stay in shape; does not play full speed on every play; is not the most popular guy in your locker room. Yes, Russell had one fantastic season and has a boatload of talent. Likewise, Hayneworth has a lot of talent. But we did see what an unmotivated Darrell Russell is worth. Do you want to take a risk on an encore performance?

I'll pass, thank you.
