First... lets look at Neal's posting of photo after photo of how "buff" he is.. thus it surprises me none that he might dip into the supplement/PED arena to add a little extra shred to his frame.
Second, I don't think Ted has an issue in evaluating defensive line talent, rather more that he has tried to address it more so in the second/third day of the draft more often than hitting it early in the draft.
For as much as I was disappointed in Harrell in his inability to stay healthy (and work to keep his body in top shape) the pick wasn't a truly horrible pick. Harrell had the upside if we could have gotten it out of him and helped him prepare better. The one season he actually worked his ass off he tweaked his back in the gym.. bad luck.
Neal, as mentioned previous, flashed potential to be a solid NFL lineman, but he as well had a injury history along with him. Now it seems he also has other baggage, I wouldn't cut him, but Neal has a ton of work to get back into good standing.
Jolly was a hit on the field.. just couldn't keep his nose clean.
I don't think Ted can't draft defensive and offensive line players.. I just think it sometimes he believes to much that we can turn water into wine. That said, and I will say it for the hundredth time, I don't have much faith in the developmental skills of James Campen.
