If 3 years from now he's another Joe Staley out of Central Michigan will we care that much that he wasn't the best player from day 1?
I'm not happy with the pick either but it's not like we took him over an Andrew Luck or Calvin Johnson. Last years draft simply sucked.

See quoted post below. And... if the draft sucks, take the guy who has the potential to be the biggest impact player if it works. Don't take the "safe" guy.

That's the ENTIRE ARGUMENT the past 2 weeks.
Everything about last year was "short term".
Now all of the sudden this year, they're "building for the future" and we're supposed to be happy about it and trust them.
The circular logic here is hilarious.

Can't wait for them to flip back to "Win now" next year.
