Yeah, I acknowledge that he's a little bit of a reach at 30, but I don't think you get him at 45. There are just too many tools for those dregs at the top of the draft to pass on him.

And in the end, when you're going to spend the next 10 years drafting at/below 25, you need to have patience. You're not gonna stumble into too many turnkey superstars. So if there's a guy with top 10 traits but who may require additional development to get there and he's available to you at 28 or 30, then I think you have to go ahead and grab him.

Yea well that won’t go over well on CP because apparently the only pick we can possibly make is somebody that is going to have a big impact right away.

But I agree, which is why I won’t write off Ebiketie or Sanders at 30, despite having a 2nd round grade for both.
