Sounds like Alex Leatherwood is a goner.

Link went to Wikipedia?

Thanks for catching that.  I went back and changed it to:

My only takeaway is that draft hype often doesn't equate to success in the NFL.  College awards for great college play doesn't always equate to success in the NFL.  I get it, that fans get excited about guys in the draft and are going to crown them as "Can't Miss" players.  But they often DO miss.    I don't have a problem with the Bears taking a flyer on Leatherwood.  But he sure looks like one of those misses to me as far as the Raiders drafting him.  

To me, its another rebuttal of the "maybe he just needs a change of scenery" argument. Some guys just can't take the next step. Either its a skill thing (like an OLman that dominates lesser talent in college but then can't block an average NFL DE/DT) or a heart thing (content to have been drafted and get paid) or an attitude thing (Miller was an amazing WR in college, but didn't want to play within the strictures of an NFL OFF--too much freelancing on the route tree.) Or some combo of the three.

No change of scenery is going to "fix" these guys.

BUT

If you can get them for cheap or in a situation where they don't impact your cap, take a shot. Just don't expect it to work. I have no problems with the Leatherwood signing. I never expected it to work out.
