Really I think we will be pleased with both of these players before their careers are over. Unless of course Rashan's arm falls out of the socket.

Gary seems like a high risk high reward type of pick. I like Savage but I don't like the cost of two 4th picks. I was hoping that they could get some O line depth with those, even if they had to settle for Thorlhill at safety. Let's hope both picks are worth the price, then we'll be in good shape.

Why is Jerry Kramer not in the Hall of Fame?

Considering he is faster than some wide receivers, it will be interesting to see how disruptive he can be not just rushing the passer, but also dropping into coverage. Imagine him getting inside leverage on a receiver and snagging a couple of interceptions per year. If nothing else, he should be able to bat away his share of passes.

Gary reminds me of the Jerell Worthy pick except we got Gary at 12.

I am willing to say Rashan will have 20 tackles and 5 sacks while playing part time his rookie season. He should outperform Jerel since he is a 1st round pick and Jerel a 2nd round pick.

Jerel was very quick off the snap. Remember he tore up his knee.
