Look around the league and the history of draft picks and tell me when a #12 pick, yet alone sometimes a top 5 pick is an instant producer.  Gary wasn't drafted just for the sacks he had at Michigan, he was drafted with the 12th pick because of what the Packers felt was a guy that they could develop into a very good player.  How long that takes depends on a lot of variables.</blockquote>
