Well, there's that whole pesky 1.1 thing.

Where our GM and HC prattled on and on about getting the right guy at that pick. We can act like the fact that he was the 1.1 pick isn't a big deal; and he's just another highly drafted guy. But it isn't true. It never will be.

It's not really fair to him. He didn't decide to be drafted at 1.1 anymore than Tyson Jackson decided to be drafted at 1.3. But those guys are going to be forever tied to their draft spots, and the fact that they were the first picks for their respective regimes.

We all trusted our new GM and this regime to be better at drafting than the old one. Even more so when they go the "safe" route and take a RT at that pick. Which means most of us would like to see their first draft effort look like an NFL player. He hasn't yet. That's concerning.
