Really? I thought thats when they'd start to break down since week 8-10 is nearing the end of the collegiate season.

By the way, someone please explain to me how you use the #1 pick on a Defensive End who had 11 sacks in 2 years?

cause they drafted him on potential and his freakish altheticism instead of his production. I'm not saying that's right or wrong.

With all due respect (and I'm not sure if thats your view or the right answer, I know its at least the latter) I'll take a football player over a gym rat anyday.

I don't agree with taking Super Mario, if it is based on JUST potential and altheticism. In my eyes, if you are drafting at #1, the player should have (in this order): proven skills/success, work ethic, production, athleticism, and potential.

I don't think you have a true #1 overall pick unless you have all of the above.

Picking a player based on his super athletic ability doesn't guarantee you a championship, just ask the Atlanta Falcons (MV) or San Diego Chargers (LT). Houston needs defensive help, they have to address those needs. I doubt picking Mario Williams will vault their defense to the top 10, probably not even the top 20 but they are in a division full of non-scrambling, pocket passing QBs. It's a fairly reasonable strategy.

they do wear out, but they also stop making as many stupid mistakes.
