This. All day long.

He'll probably never live up to the pick. I'm not a fan of taking OL at 1.1 either. But he was the pick. The idea that it should matter if he's great in year 2 or 3 but sucked in year 1 is silly, no matter where he was picked. The idea that he was terrible all season long is false -- he played "fair" toward the end of the season. The idea that he didn't have several things that may have potentially held him back continually gets ignored.

I don't care where he was picked. He's a Chief now. The pick is irrelevant. There's lots of reasons to believe he'll improve a lot, and it's way too soon to say if he is/isn't good right now. At least give him until game 1 to show what he's got.
