If you knew my posting history, you'd know that I've been a longtime critic of guys like William Moore and Chase Coffman, two of the more prominent recent MU players in the NFL. I was super high on Weatherspoon and Maclin.
Why? The latter guys are good, or have the ability to be good. Moore always played like he had shit for brains. Franklin flashed a lot of ability, didn't get as many touches, but was the deep threat on that team. It's a risk worth taking. We had good implied odds.
Finally, 25 pounds is not "slightly bigger". 25 pounds is the difference between TO and Jeremy Maclin.

and you would have taken Maclin at 3rd overall.
Nobody that wasn't a Mizzou fan would have even thought of doing that.
Its ok dude, it happens to all of us.
I have a thread about taking Ricki Stanzi (who had another clutch game winning pass this weekend) in the late second round, we all have a special place in our hearts for our favorite players from our college team.
Just like all the poundings I got this time last year for all my Moeaki Talk (and Pat Angerer)
