Every year, not all time and a few of those are busts. Sure we get a couple, but we miss out too many and only end up in their finalJJ Peterson says, hello.

I can keep going...this is just the more recent (most of them, anyway), and off the top of my head.
Hopefully you can see my point.
Didn’t butch have him playing tackle? Who else did butch have out of possition?Kyle Phillips will be a selling point for DE development. He was a bust that is playing himself into a draft pick after 3 years of no coaching.
I wouldn’t say we got ‘nut punched’. That Quay Walker stuff hurt and getting trolled by ITS wasn’t fun, but to land guys like JJ, DWA, Carvin, Taylor and Thompson in a very short time with Pruitt was pretty awesomeI thought we were going to feel like that last signing day too...then we got nut punched. I will not get overly excited till the LOIs are in. Till then..I'm a skeptic on the big fish stories
It should have felt awesome, but it didn't because of the misses. They would have made the class a lot more helpful to the rebuild, and a lot less meh feeling.I wouldn’t say we got ‘nut punched’.

In retrospect, Phillips doesn’t fit in a 4-3. He’s not fluid enough for a DE in that set and not comfortable bulked up for DT. Been better every week at 3-4 DE. I think Derek Barnett wouldn’t have fit as well in a 3-4 for some of the same reasons.Didn’t butch have him playing tackle? Who else did butch have out of possition?
Edit. Now that I think of it, how many players did he have “beef” up, without a strength program? I really believe that aspect is what is making these players look worse. They can’t fix that in less than a year.
