Nobody is claiming they did not have talent, just not worthy of their draft positions. By being selected in the first round, you are almost guaranteed to start for most NFL Teams. DBs are not paid by how many tackles they make, as a matter of fact DBs with a lot of tackles shows a problem. First round DBs with only 2-3 Ints is troubling. Bama's first and second rounders have been successful at LBs and WR (Jones and Cooper), but other than that they have been drafted 2 rounds too early.

Lots of ignorance in this post.

Josh Norman has 7 INTs in 4 years.

Richard Sherman has averaged 3 INT over the last 2 seasons.

Yeah. Troubling.
