    Mo hasn't done especially well in Dallas, and now he is injured. But wasn't he the 6th or 7th player taken overall?

    If you can be drafted in the 1st round, you should go, as you never know what the next year will bring.

    3rd or 4th I think. He went higher than Peterson I want to say. He hasn't benefitted from that system with 3 different DC's in 3 seasons. That can have an adverse effect on a young player. I hope they trade him somewhere to play for Mike Zimmer, or Romeo Cronell, or Wade Philips.

    A bust, could have been better served with another year.

    Or...he could've blown out his knee in college his senior year, instead of his 3rd year as a pro, and not had that nice payday.

    He was absolutely at the top of his game when he left.

    I'm reserving the bust label until he plays somewhere else.

    Because CB is played differently around the league? You can either cover or you can't right? Something happened to him, I will give @StaceyO maybe I'm blaming the fact that he has been awful in the show to him leaving early. I will scratch him off the list for now.

    PP7, went in the first, the 5th player taken, the following year, Mo was taken in the first, the 6th player taken. Too much money to pass up. Simon went in the 5th an has hung on with the Hawks, got a Super Bowl ring and has got a good paycheck. I said before the draft, he was one the Hawks liked and would do good with them. Ego has done well, looks to have found a home.

    Don't see many this year leaving early, but who knows, kids don't always listen

    Dallas has been bad all round, on both sides of the ball while he's been there. They are playing so much better this year. But the injury has him out of football for now

    I know he had a learning disability, maybe he is having a hard time figuring out assignments and reads, it can't help the philosophy has changed in all 3 seasons. Look at Alex Smith, he is prime example of what can happen when you cycle through coordinators and philosophies. Alex Smith isn't Manning or Brees but he is a legit starter.

    And also a QB, quite a bit different than a CB. Here is his job "Hey Mo, see number 88, don't let him catch the ball. If you can catch it, do that and run the other way" Geez not splitting an atom, how smart do you have to be?
