You just mentioned Barbie Carpenter.
All of the sudden Im expecting Bosa to be a total bust.
But they are so similar though... Carpenter was also all over the field in college. Couldn't believe the bust he turned out to be.
And no thanks on Henry in the 2nd! I've seen enough Bama RBs dominate behind their line in college only to be exposed in the the NFL. Henry ran way too slow at the combine for my taste. Pass.
If I'm remembering correctly AJ Hawk got most of the attention plus the Dline allowed Carpenter to run free. The guy wasn't built for a 3-4 scheme in the NFL.
It was a classic example of drafting for need. I think Chad Greenway was their target & he got picked right before so they reached.
I remember Norm going crazy that they didn't draft Santonio Holmes.
They passed on some LBs that had great careers.
