The Legacy of Jerry Angelo

Just doing a little research to complement a story I had previously written:

Do you realize that since the era of Jerry Angelo (2002), the Chicago Bears have drafted only 5.5 players that are currently starters (and Devin Hester who we have no clue what he is). Let's see... roughly 7 picks a draft multiplied by 5 years... that's 35 players. 5.5/35= less than 16% success rate.

In case you were wondering who the players were... Alex Brown in 2004, Charles Tillman and Lance Briggs in 2003, Tommie Harris and Nathan Vasher in 2004 and the half is Kyle Orton in 2005. NOTE: Besides Orton (who has yet to be named a starter), all players are defensive players.

Players that we drafted that are gone or suck....
Marc Colombo (1st)
Roosevelt Williams (3rd)
Terrance Metcalf (3rd)
Rex Grossman (1st)
Michael Haynes (1st)
Tank Johnson (2nd)
leon Joe
Craig Krenzel
Cedric Benson (1st)
Mark Bradley (2nd)
Airese Curry
Chris Harris
Danieal manning (2nd)
Dusty Dvoracek (3rd)
Jamar Williams
Dan Bazuin (2nd)
Garrett Wolfe (3rd)
Michael Okwo (3rd)
Josh Beekman
and coming soon.... Chris Williams (1st)

FAILURE AFTER FAILURE. This begs the question... If you constantly failed at your job, how much longer would you be around?
