And yet when you look at the NFL sack leader boards you find Connor Barwin and Mario Williams in the top 6. So we chose to keep Matt Schaub, Joseph, Cushing, AJ, etc... We pay all of them large amounts of money (or are on the hook for their dead money), while getting little to no production from them, while two guys we drafted are starring for other teams at a position of desperate need for us.
I would agree that extensions/FA have been an even bigger screw up for Smith than the draft.

It would be nice to have Williams and Barwin back wouldn't it, in hindsight.
Hard to find good pass rushers. they seem to be best weapon against the can't touch a WR rules.
