April 28, 20187 yr You don’t have a very good memory. He was borderline bust until his senior year. He had a decent senior year, but he was a 5 star and something of a mystery entering the draft. He was drafted in 3rd round and has performed much better in pros than he did in his marginal college career. Edited April 28, 20187 yr by Guest

Unless you account for his injuries making his career marginal, you are full of shit like all the rest of your posts. He missed a couple seasons with injuries but had about 150 tackles his senior year. His injuries were the only reason he slid to the third round

April 28, 20187 yr 4 minutes ago, Hank_Hill said: Overrated =/= a third round pick is top 5 at his position in the league Third round is a disappointment for the hype that Jordan and Malik had coming in. They both had disappointing careers here. I’m not sure how his pro career is relevant to my comment about Hicks being overrated at Texas. I already acknowledged how good a pro he is.

April 28, 20187 yr Not to mention LBs who aren't pass rushers typically aren't 1st round values in today's NFL. So getting drafted in the 3rd is damn good.

April 28, 20187 yr Author Rex, I'll agree with you on every Longhorn except Dickson. Winning MVP of a bowl game as a punter is the definition of going out on top. Edited April 28, 20187 yr by Machinator

As a weakside backer he'll be doing plenty of that. With his speed it would be surprising if he isn't a pass rusher. His major weakness is pass coverage, and a lot of scouts identified his lack of a killer instinct (alpha qualities I read) and his tendency to get blocked.
April 28, 20187 yr Author I'm here to admit I was wrong. Looks like Malik could have used another year at UT. Edited April 28, 20187 yr by Machinator

Where do you get the notion I intimated he performed as expected when he wasn’t injured? Because he didn’t And his pro career is irrelevant to his performance at Texas, for the 4th time.
April 28, 20187 yr Bengals essentially telling Burfict his days might be done due to being a prick and druggie-ing. If so, good path for MJ to work into the lineup. If not, he'll be a "down" substitute/special teams guy for awhile.
April 28, 20187 yr Congrats to Malik. Looks like he lit up the club in Dallas last night with his crew including Heard, Shark, other players and Lil Wayne. Funny to see Malik chug some expensive champagne from the bottle. Edited April 28, 20187 yr by bigup2dahorns
April 28, 20187 yr Hicks was very good as a senior. It was his first healthy season. He's been the same in the pros. He's a very good player when he is healthy.
April 28, 20187 yr Was hoping the Stillers would take him , instead they got the okie light duo of Washington and Rudolph smh.. AFC North really is the BIG 12 here's to hoping that they get Poona in the 5th
April 28, 20187 yr Congrats to Malik. I was really hoping to get him on the LA Rams, where he would fit perfectly. Instead he is drafted 10 spots ahead of the Ram's first pick.
April 28, 20187 yr Haha I was wondering who was going to get that when I saw the article. Didn't realize it was Malik

April 29, 20187 yr I somewhat agree with Rex. For being top 10, 5-Star players, Hicks and Jefferson underachieved at UT. Yes, their last seasons were good, but they should have been great for at least 2 years (yes, I know Hicks had injuries). Had Jefferson been great for two years, he would have been drafted at the top of the 1st round, because the measureables were there (Hicks also had the measurables).

I’m not sure Malik ever would have been drafted top of 1st round because he will never be an edge rusher like Miller. But he would have helped his stock with another season (assuming he stayed healthy). I agree with your use of “underachieved” for both players. Jordan Hicks surely wasn’t overrated based on what we’ve seen in hindsight; he just underachieved.

April 29, 20187 yr Best of luck to Malik. I figured he would go in the 3rd and thought another year would guarantee him a late 1st round pick. Would have enjoyed seeing him in a Longhorn uniform for one more year.
April 29, 20187 yr I don't know that Malik was ever a 1st round talent. Maybe another good year would've gotten him to the high 2nd round. And when you make a TVM calculation with him getting his 3rd round money a full year ahead of his hypothetical 2019 2nd round payday, the difference in money isn't all that huge. It's also one less year he has to wait for that coveted 2nd contract. Add in the huge injury risk factor that comes with playing football, and I don't know how anyone can fault him or call him an idiot for leaving early.
