Let's look back at the 2013 drafr

They ran to the podium to turn in his name ...like they were drafting the next LT....from what I remember that pick was pretty much hated by the vast majority here

yeah, completely insane decision
 
It is hard to say how any player would do had they been drafted by a different team. That's the problem I have with looking at a draft and saying a player won't be good here because he wasn't good elsewhere. Hell, David Carr may have been just as good or better than his younger brother but got stuck on a really bad Houston team for years. You just never know, but to not recognize that the team or system that you get drafted into has no say in a players performance is also short sighted.

Yea, but usually if it's the team's fault, the player moves on to some other team and does well. One could argue that a player - especially a QB - has their confidence shot from being on a terrible team, but I don't necessarily buy that one. It's more likely that Derrick Carr is just better than his brother. If David was decent, he would still be in the NFL.
