You guys are making ridiculous arguments. All rookies struggle to some extent - remember Reggie White tossing Larry Allen like a rag doll?? Larry Allen is in the HOF.

Clinton-Dix, as opposed to Randall on the other hand, at least had some prototypical size and speed, and did in fact show up much better on tape, and his predraft ranking was always pretty high.

Randall on the other hand - some scouts had him as a late round pick at best. And the knocks on him are legit - the guy is simply a poor tackler. He's a very, very soft tackler. Beyond that, his hips are questionable, and his make-up speed is questionable. Mid-rounds sounds about right for a guy like that.

Throw in a position change, and now you're really talking apples and oranges.

As for guys like McKinney and Anthony - I think they're both safer picks than Randall. I think Anthony might be more "NFL ready" than McKinney, but McKinney probably has more upside.
