too early.. he was starting to make plays late in the year including the play he tore his ACL.
Now, Chris McIntosh was a waste of pick.
That is really quite ironic since their stories are very similar.
McIntosh started 10 games as a rookie, and towards the end of his rookie season was developing into a dominant right tackle. One of the best. Then an injury derailed his career and he was never able to come back.
In fact, Chris would probably be LESS of a bust than Richardson because Chris' injury was a very isolated incident. He had no significant injury history prior to his pro career, whereas Richardson had significant injuries in college.
Evaluating them both based on their 1st two years, Chris was far more productive.
