Yea because the cicumstances that led to his surprise release couldn't have changed those teams thoughts on him from draft time, right?

It's not a good look, regardless of how you rationalize it.
That's a pretty high value asset just set ablaze. Whether it's poor scouting or whether it's worse personal evaluation isn't terribly relevant. There were some good players on the board there (as well as where they originally picked before the trade down left them with Russell as their highest ranked guy). Even if Russell never amounts to anything, you can bet someone they could've taken there would've.
It's a **** up. And when you start to shrug stuff like that off, it gets really cumulative, really quickly.
This had better be a one-off. Dorsey can't go torching assets like this with any frequency. As the core of this team continues to age, they have to backfill with cost-effective players in the middle rounds if they hope to keep their newer, younger core around on their second contracts.
And hey, we don't have to be mad at Roger Goodell anymore, right? Turns out 3rd rounders don't mean enough to get pissed off about if all anyone wants to do is high five Dorsey for shitcanning a 3rd round pick before his first day on the active roster. HIGH FIVE, DORSE!
