Rick Leonard, how do you like the pick?

Reach all the way and a drastic one. This guy was going to go undrafted. Nobody will be able to convince me that there weren’t MUCH better options at this point. Take severe projects like him in the 7th..not in the 4th where you should be getting guys that can at least play special teams. This is not a good pick at all.

Man I prefer not to be negative, but I completely agree. Even if he pans out to be a decent backup, the value is awful. There were 12 OT's rated higher and countless players at other positions that would have presented much better value for the pick. I trust that our scouts identified something in him that moved him ahead of the other tackles, but you've gotta play your odds in cases like this where the player is SO far down the ratings list and gamble that he'll be there a bit later.

Seems like this draft we just don't care where someone is rated. We're just getting our guys regardless of where other teams may have them on their boards. Hope it works out.
