So I was looking around to compare Mario to some of this years high round pick rookies and some notable DE's that are big names. This is what I came up with:
Jamal Anderson: Has not even played yet. He was picked 8th.

Gaines Adams drafted 4th overall: 1.5 sacks 17 tackles 2 PD
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?statsId=8258
Dwight Freeney, 3.5 sacks, 20 Tackles, 4 FF
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?statsId=5897
Robert Mathis 4.0 sacks, 20 tackles, 1 FF
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?statsId=6474
Michael Strahan 4.0 sacks, 26 tackles 2 PD
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/stats?statsId=2579
Julius Peppers 1.5 sacks, 26 tackles, 4 PD 2 FF
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/stats?statsId=5888
Mario Williams 4.0 sacks, 23 tackles 1 PD, 1 TD
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/stats?statsId=7750
So I guess my question is, when comparing Mario to the rest of the stud DE's and high round draft picks, are we expecting to much?
