Not sure it's an easy answer either or common sense for that matter, but it's certainly not a "dumb" question. There were many legit reasons for people to question why he was picked at 13.
You might not like the question or agree with it but to say it's "dumb" is a little disrespectful imo.
There were a LOT of smart people who get paid to analyze these types of things and know what they are talking about who also questioned it.
I hope he turns out to be a HOF'er and I hope he wins us a couple rings. We'll see what happens. By the time the kid actually plays, most people will have forgotten about when he was picked. lol
It's fine that some have reasons to question the selection. But, the question was why was he taken so high? And the answer is common sense. The team with the 13th selection wanted him and didn't want to risk losing him.
And the fact remains that a LOT of smart people and others
SIMPLY DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO ALL THE INFORMATION of which NFL teams have access. Long time draft guru Mel Kiper has even admitted to this in the past so I'm not sure why this is so hard to understand.
