Let's take a look at the no brainer defenders taken super super high in recent years:
Von Miller - awesome player. Lost to Joe Flacco because he didn't have enough impact on the game to win it.
Ndamukong Suh - LOLOLOLOLLOLOLOLOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL.
Eric Berry - Has been completely at the mercy of Matt Cassel.
Chris Long - Swallowed by the St. Louis Sarlacc, where he will learn a new definition of pain and suffering over a thousand years.
Glenn Dorsey - welp.
Mario Williams - Changed a shitty defense into a shitty defense with an expensive DE.
Julius Peppers - Legitimately a great player who played on several good teams and probably had a bigger impact on the team than Jake Delhomme. Never won a SB because he had a bigger impact on the team than Jake Delhomme.
Courtney Brown - Taco John's bane. Played on TWO winning teams, one which was the team that traded for him.
LaVar Arrington - Claim to fame was making Troy Aikman's brain bleed. Played on ONE winning team.
Andre Wadsworth - I think he was touted as another can't miss guy but my memory gets fuzzy here. But I know he was terrible.
Charles Woodson - A probable hall of fame CB who should thank his lucky stars he teamed up with Aaron Rodgers to win a Super Bowl. Also teamed up with another HOF QB to get his ass beat in the SB.
Dan Wilkinson - You're a pretty BAMF if you're the #1 pick and a DT. I mean you must be like six Tyson Jacksons put together. It sure helped the Bengals.
Steve Emtman - Who the **** is Steve Emtman, man?
