Sure he does - he didn't get the expected value out of that pick he'd hoped for. However, that's not my point - Emtman didn't provide expected value for that pick, but was it because he was simply over-rated by the Colts front office and just didn't have the ability they thought he did, or was his career derailed because of bad luck with injuries? His performance his rookie year prior to blowing out his knee suggests that he had good ability and was a productive player. That's not the case with guys like Ware, Smith and Mandarich.
