Landry is now a bust!

[ethat001]

I got to say it sucks to watch how great Darrell Revis is on the NY Jets. We picked up Laron Landry eight picks earlier -- I think Revis has been a *little* better...

Sure, hindsight is 20/20, but we already had a star safety at that time (he died later). In addition -- Adrian Peterson, Patrick Willis, Marshawn Lynch -- all would have been nice.

1 Oakland Raiders JaMarcus Russell Quarterback LSU
2 Detroit Lions Calvin Johnson Wide Receiver Georgia Tech
3 Cleveland Browns Joe Thomas† Offensive Tackle Wisconsin
4 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Gaines Adams Defensive End Clemson
5 Arizona Cardinals Levi Brown Offensive Tackle Penn State
6 Washington Redskins LaRon Landry Safety LSU
7 Minnesota Vikings Adrian Peterson† Running back Oklahoma
8 Atlanta Falcons (from Houston) [9] Jamaal Anderson Defensive End Arkansas
9 Miami Dolphins Ted Ginn, Jr. Wide Receiver Ohio State
10 Houston Texans (from Atlanta) [9] Amobi Okoye Defensive Tackle Louisville
11 San Francisco 49ers Patrick Willis† Linebacker Ole Miss
12 Buffalo Bills Marshawn Lynch† Running back California
13 St. Louis Rams Adam Carriker Defensive End Nebraska
14 New York Jets (from Carolina) [10] Darrelle Revis† Cornerback Pittsburgh

bold is already a ProBowler..

well in landrys defense, he has been playing out of his natural position. hopefully with the new regime he will be moved and show good improvement.

Lynch is pretty much done and overrated to begin with. I think in his pro bowl season he averaged something like 3.9 yards per carry and his best season had a 4.0 ypc. Thats good but not the type of guy you send to the pro bowl.

Calvin Johnson has been a ProBowler already.
