2012 Draft Class

pretty sure i've read from vikings fans that kalil isn't living up to being a top 5 pick. Here's the link. if you see, you'll notice no viking fan defending kalil that he doesn't suck right now. apparently been declining since his rookie year

Yeah I was about to make a list like this on another board and found the same info, they are not happy in Minnesota with him.
 
Another thing is these DTs are solid but they are not stars, not sure a solid starter is what you expect from a 1st rounder but it is something we lack. Also the hype child Barron has 3 ints so far, again good and solid nothing really amazing about him.
 
I think you'd have to say Claiborne, Richardson and Blackmon are the biggest busts from this draft. Blackmon may be worst because he isn't even on the field, although I think many Cowboys fans wish Claiborne wasn't on the field, so I'm not sure if him playing is actually an advantage.

Still think some of these players are developing, but Kalil has been on skates all season. RGIII has been, by far, the biggest disappointment given the number of picks they surrendered to get him. Weeden's already on his second roster, and Tannehill is reportedly a game away from getting benched for Matt Moore in Miami. Like any draft, there are hits and misses.
 

He had and still doesn't have any pass rush. He's best at using his strength and size to contain and clog lanes. He's a perfect 1 tech in STL scheme and would be now for us but I just didn't like him for a 34

Hes had 10 sacks in his first 2 years and is still only 23, that's pretty good pass rush production for a 1-tech. At lot of people wanted us to take him that year because we were lacking size and strength up front, handling double teams is most of the job for a 5-tech.
 
Mark Barron. Solid player. Starter
Luke Kuechly

yea but
can any of these guys play in our sys

Dontari Poe. .
Fletcher Cox.
Michael Brockers

To each there own. But ryan was our dc then and he likes his DE to get pressure not the parcells style to take up double teams.

Yes he has 10 sacks in 2 years at DT in a 43. He would be able to do that in a 34 pkaying vs a OT.

But it doesn't matter because we have no real way of knowing.
