I coulda been more clear in my post, it's true. Here's my point, PHD.
A lot of us, including yours truly, fell in love with picking GRob because of his physical gifts. But we ignored how raw he was and how lacking in pass pro experience. It appears that he wasn't the most "football smart" player either. Yet, those freakish physical traits blew us away and blinded us to the pitfalls. At a cost that's hard to even measure, now.
Ross, too, has freakish physical traits. But what about the medical red flags? What about his size? What about the considerable loss of value in required picks for the tradeup?
I'm suggesting that some are becoming blinded by that 4.22 blazing speed and ignoring pitfalls once again.
Not me. Lesson learned.
Particularly if it would require a tradeup in this particular draft with our particular picks.
There will be numerous productive WR's available later in this draft. I'm hoping that S&M target one that fits McVay's O scheme design and develop him accordingly. Take full advantage of the player skillset and the coaches skillsets while allowing the draft to come to them.
