and, besides devin, who's not a great example or a great WR, how many of those guys only had one good year of college?
i know TJ and smith and moss all started multiple years and had more than one decent year. MK had 3 years of over 800 yards i believe, BB had 750 his sophmore year, 1300+ the next year, redshirted, and i forget his senoir year stats, but that's 5 years in college football.
breaston started 4 years at michigan right? and had 7 200 yard games there. driver had 2000 yards at alcorn state, was mainly a track + field guy, got drafted in the 7th round and took until his 4th year to be any good (keenan mccardell took 4 years too if i remember correctly).
it'd be better not to have to wait 4 years to see if your draft pick is a total bust, since that's roster spots and money wasted, but that's what it looks like is going to happen with DT.
remember taylor jacobs? one college 1000 yard year, bounced around the league for 5 seasons, career stats: 37 for 384 and 2 tds. 2nd round pick too.
I think DT is a LOT better than that, but he's raw.
