To take a guy like that and hope you can turn him into an All-Pro with proper coaching is not so far fetched. It's more of a reality than taking a slow, short dude and making that an All-Pro.

It's hard to determine at draft time whether or not you've got J.J. Watt or Vernon Gholston. Whether or not you have Calvin Johnson or Jon Baldwin. Sometimes it's hard to determine at that point in time, especially when guys are still on the board that you didn't think were going to be there and didn't fully analyze prior to the draft. (At least Dorsey does his homework on about everyone and tries to tie that into the objectivity of the Decision Lens system.)

Add to that that Bowe was in a contract year...

I don't mind the Baldwin pick. I do mind that the guy had no drive/love/passion for the game despite the prodigious physical tools after the fact.
