He's very talented, I've never argued that. But he's not producing up to that level of talent anymore. Especially not in 2016. BTW he played 3/4 of his snaps in his familiar DT/DE roles based on the defense they were running at the time.
really, i thought he mostly played at lb?
i remember reading he was really bothered by all the different roles...
i guess i can go google it since i have not read it for weeks.
my recollection is that they had too much talent on the DL
so richardson was essentially sacrificed.
i think the difference is i think his drop off can be explained by the jets.
they completely bungled up the QB situation.
furthermore it is not only richardson and the QB but wilkerson who should have been happy getting a 80 million dollar contract...
now the drop off may affect him permanently so there is a risk there.
furthermore, a probowler dl in his physical prime would be worth at least a 1st round pick in my view.
but he is not a probowler and there is a character risk so that explains the discount in draft pick.
