If drafts were that easy we would also have zero busts on these players they say can miss and we know that is not true.

From what I have read, he is an excite blocker and can play H-back and fits the Taylor system.  Second, he has great hands from all accounts and played with a running type offense.. they averaged 240 passing to 180 rushing in this college age that is not the norm....  I looked up the stats.. top two WRs just averaged 40 catches a game and 5 TDS.. Sample as TE was 3rd with 25 catches and 3 TDs qne im sure not many attempts.. and was perfect no drops .  My point is you can;t just look at numbers to make a judgements... put him with a pass happy offense he probably double his stats and looks much better 

Believe me, I get it....if you read back, I admitted to not even knowing who he was!

I was even initially miffed....until I talked to my brother about him, and then did some reading.

Agree 100% with everything you said there. What's done is done.... I'm keeping an even keel on everything until I see the team play. I just find it amusing when people cite "experts"....then ignore we have a former player coaching the position, and ignore other draftniks that say he's a steal...lol.

To be clear..... I'm only referring to the "he sucks!" crowd, and not people who are just upset with the round he was taken in.
