Well, I don't remember what they said about Tommie Harris. He turned out to be a stud that's for sure.
Another factor that must be considered is who the draft prospects teammates are, how will they gel? Will there be good chemistry?
I go back to San Fransisco in the early 90's. They had just been eaten up by Emmitt Smith and the Cowboys in the NFC Championship game. So what do they do? They go out and promptly draft Dana Stubblefield from Kansas (who really was a good player as a 49er) in 1993, then they draft Bryant Young out of Notre Dame a year later. Next thing you know, they have the best tandem of defensive tackles in the league for years to come. Sometimes it works like that.
Then, you have your DeWayne Roberstons, Gerard Warrens, Jimmy Kennedys, Jonathan Sullivans -- you know, the busts. They're everywhere. But you have to wonder how much better those guys would have been if the right guy was lined up next to him? It's like talented musicians -- if they never find each other, one of them is unlikely to turn mediocre musicians into a great band. But when they do find each other, it's like magic.
Boy, I'm really rambling here... I'm not even sure what my point is ...
So yeah, maybe all the doubters are wrong about Alan Branch and he'll be our Dave Butz for years to come!
