I remember that many of the guys who yelled the loudest about us taking Sample in the second wanted us to take Mack Wilson in the second or third and he lasted to the fifth round.
When a team picks a player higher that the "experts" have him rated everyone bashes the team for "reaching", but when when a player gets drafted a few rounds later than the "experts" had him rated no one claims that all 32 NFL teams were wrong.
When I read your OP the first thing that came to mind was how the Saints used Jimmy Graham. I’m not saying Sample can’t do it, but from the scouting reports that doesn’t seem like a good fit for him. He seems like more of a traditional person inline TE. But, the traditional inline TE doesn’t seem to be what Taylor is looking for. Or is it? That’s why I asked about Taylor’s use of a TE, FB, or H back.
