Our front office, and the other 31, pay staffs of scouts, coaches, and gms lots of money to evaluate college players. Team staffs spend MONTHS researching all these players in depth, and give each one of them a grade based on feedback provided by scouts, position coaches, coordinators, head coah, etc. but some people here label this guy a reach and piss on MONTHS of work because of a 20 second google search.

So if you're one of those who instantly criticized this pick, tell us all:

What do you know about him in 20 seconds that our team didn't find out in their extensive research?

a reach is a reach. You don't have to be Albert Einstein to spot one. It is obvious they liked the guy and he very well maybe a a great player for us, which is the most important thing. I think what people are disappointed about is the possibility they could have got a higher ranked player AND this guy as well. I guess the FO's logic is that if they had him ranked this high then another team may of also so just be safe and take him now.
