He doesn't
He was never productive
He played in a far worse conference and was never a factor.
4.69 at a Pro day isn't lighting the world on fire. Besides, if you are going to tout something about O'Connell, tout his leaping ability, which of course he has demonstrated numerous times while blocking as the third TE on 3rd and short while the Chiefs run away from his side.
Hell, there were a number of TEs who were the same size with much better speed who actually produced in major conferences.
The stupidity of drafting Jake O'Connell was a perfect storm of idiocy.
1) You give up multiple picks for a bad player
2) Said player never produced,
3) Said player never played in a major conference
4) Said player doesn't have a great athletic profile.
Problems with some of the above four are excusable. All of them aren't. Keeping the guy on the roster for two years is even dumber. I'm sure he makes a mean pot of coffee, though.
