Not at all. I said that his arm length was just one reason among others why I didn't have him ranked as a top 25 player in the draft. I also never said that he won't be successful because of it, I said it would be more difficult for him to succeed because he would have to be as close to perfect as possible in his technique and snap anticipation in order to win without the desired arm length.
Also, arm length is absolutely an important measurement, just go ask the 49ers whether or not it's important. They, and many other teams, look for OLB prospects with 34"+ arms and dock prospects heavily if they are under that.
