That was me in the injury thread.
I had higher hopes for him. He did ok week one but people were flushed to him on the sacks.
He hasn't done much since. He's been losing playing time. We had to trade for two DE's to get help. They brought in Young and cut a CB. A DE had to go. As soon as I saw they said he had a knee injury, I knew he was going on IR and we'd add a CB. I figured Womack but maybe that's coming next week. Give Drake time to heal and improve.
If Thomas. Oliver. Or Kinlaw get any kind of injury, they are next

When such a big deal was made about him adding 13 pounds of muscle during the offseason you could see the team was trying to find any positive on this guy going to year 2. Even game 1 when sacks fell to his feet the media hype was really hoping for for something to build on.
Hes not done yet, but he wasn't about to suit up anymore with this rotation. Hopefully he figures it out.

I don't know what fans do more. Jump on the band wagon and proclaim a player to be a star based on limited action or claim he's a bust based on limited action. Nobody wants to give players time to develop. They want instant success. Personally I prefer a player that starts slowly and develops into a long time starter than one that flashes instant success and then drops into the world of mediocrity.

Spot #97 is traditionally the start of the 3rd round. Drake went #94 overall.

When did players taken where almost 100 other guys were taken before them become "top picks" ??

Always thought that was reserved for several players,...at most. Or are we unconcerned with reality and just trying to build a narrative? (i.e...."I need to take over as GM")

He was the 61st pick.

I'd like to see him develop - I feel the potential is there.

Sometimes it takes a little longer for guys. Sometimes it never comes. All you can do is wait and see.

Any chance Drake is ready for post-season play?
