Perhaps I am biased as a UVa alum, but I agree. The DUI came BEFORE the Bowl game with Louisville and yet somehow they couldn't find it within themselves to kick him off the team before they won one more game with him.

I kind of place Tapp in the same category with Corey Moore (drafted by the Ravens, never replicated college success in NFL), but maybe that is because they both went to VA Tech. I have not seen him play enough, or heard enough from the draft "experts" to pass judgement on him, but remember that Dwight Freeny was also an undersized DE from the Big East (well I guess Tech is now in the ACC) who has done alright for himself. Of course, if Tapp goes out and runs a 4.4 a la Freeny he will be long gone by the time the Skins pick.
