You do NOT draft guys that are 5'8" 174 lbs. that high in the draft!!! They traded up and gave up a 2nd and a 7th for him. Just nuts.
We would be talking 'value' and 'so glad we have him' if he had been chosen later in the draft. But at #8???
Ace Saunders
D'Anthony Thomas
Dexter McCluster
Denard Robinson
How are those guys doing in the NFL these days?
It gets even worse when you consider we chose Austin instead of these that were all available at #16; meaning we don't trade up and keep the 2nd rounder:
Leveon Bell
DeAndre Hopkins
Justin Pugh
Eric Reid
Travis Fredrick
Kyle Long
Xavier Rhodes
Travis Kelce
Tyrann Mathieu
The Ram's organization was just flat out inept. Stupid beyond stupid. And they extended Austin..... they're unbelievable.
