Especially with a top flight Center sitting there to pick that became an All-Pro in his first year.
We were all aghast. And I'll bet dollars to donuts this was purely a McVay call. Don't ever think that McVay's small stature didn't play a role in the decision. I suspect the same kind of little-man bent didn't play a role in picking Bennett.
HCs are people too, and have slants towards certain guys for reasons they might not even fully realize.
Interesting psychological assessment. If true, I bet this same little-man bent makes him one of the best coaches in the league.
But the drafting of Tutu with Creed on the board was a whiff of Biblical proportions.
