When asked before the draft which player was the most likely to be a HOFer, Daniel Jeremiah picked GRob.
I remember that vividly. So is DJ dumb? I'm just asking cause you'd think if GRob was the dumbest pick in history that someone who said he would be the best player coming from that draft would be pretty dumb himself.
DJ did say before the draft that Wentz would be better than Goff. So maybe DJ is dumb. LOL
I think the GRob pick highlights the weakness of most draft and scouting experts.
The experts see elite size and athleticism. They get blinded by those elite traits and assume the player can be coached up. Those types of projections are routine in the scouting community and it's a mistake.
In GRob's case you had no experience, no track record, no fundamentals in the primary skill set a LT needs, and no football intelligence. If you turned GRob into a stock, ultra successful investors wouldn't have touched it at such a premium price.
