Not A Good Pick...

He led the nation of all players this past year with 6 forced fumbles. Enough said. That means you are sacking and hitting the QB a lot. He also had 11 sacks this past year and close to 20 TFLs.

That's great. This defense severely lacks impact players that produce turn overs. 

Alright, so what's the other part?,why did we get him in the 3rd? 

Ah, I see now. From Bleacher Report's write up on the pick:

Worries: There are many.

Few prospects in recent memory have had as disastrous of a predraft season as Polite. There were questions about his maturity and work habits at Gainesville, and they manifested themselves when Polite appeared flabby and unprepared for the combine. He was even less prepared for his pro day, and both of those workouts ended with minor hamstring injuries.

Polite had the tape of a top-15 pick. But edge-rushers with dubious professionalism often deal with weight fluctuations and soft-tissue injuries in addition to all of the other issues that crop up when young men make poor decisions. Polite will probably start his career as a 10- or 15-snap 3rd-and-long specialist  To be anything more, he must prove that he’s the guy we saw on film, not the one we saw in March.

Just gonna leave this here:

Jachai Polite - 4.84 40yd, 7.81 3-cone, 14 BP, 32 vertical, 8.5 broad

Dylan Donahue - 4.75 40yd, 7.02 3-cone, 31 BP, 29.5 vertical, 9.67 broad

Donahue had an alcohol problem, I’m not sure his numbers are why he failed.

Driving drunk through the opposite side of the Lincoln Tunnel hurt him too
