    Quite a frustrating player. In 4 of 9 full seasons, he has played in less than 110 games and never above 146. But when on the field, he has been productive.

    The floor seems to be pretty high for these guys, but the thing that jumped out at me is the fact that the ceilings are pretty low in hindsight as well.

    Are there any HOFers on that list? Obviously some of these guys have had success, but would you really kill to have Pat Burrell on your team? Kill to have Ventura or Drew?

    I'm talking premier player...I guess my observation is that the award for best college player hasn't translated into premier player at the next level.
