Looking at the Eagles progress report, it seems he played much better at the LT spot than on the interior. Looks like a good depth signing, and someone who has nice feet and a decent initial punch to play outside.
So we gave a 5th for a guy who stepped in for an All-Pro LT and stood his ground against one of the best pass rushers in the game. He's young and has some experience.
I'm totally fine with this.
That's a 20% hit rate, so yeah, a 5th rounder is not exactly a guarantee. Many fans seem to think that the 5th round is a guaranteed star packed round for the Seahawks. More likely they got lucky with Kam and Sherm!
Exactly, please see the video link I posted above. Also, can we please stop acting like a 5th rd pick is always an all pro player? Here is the list
Kam - Great
Sherman - awesome
Mark Legree - who?
Korey toomer- decent pick on the chargers now, but certainly not a pro bowler
Tharold Simon - not on a roster right now
Luke Willson - solid player
Jimmy Staten - on his 7th team in 3 years
Tye Smith - Might make the Titans roster
Quentin Jefferson - injured, hopeful he will be an effective inside pass rusher
Alex Collins - about to be cut
So again, not like this is a guaranteed pro bowler we gave up.
