Of course. I'm just suggesting that he might have been overvalued by multiple teams with less talent than use due to the fact that they plan on using him this year. Whereas, he fits into our puzzle as a depth guy in year one. So we might have been able to get a comparable player in say, the 4th or 5th round next year had we waited.
But, again, if the guy turns out to be an average 2nd round talent (2-3 wins added over the next 4.5 seasons), you aren't going to hear not one complaint out of me.
Kudos to the FO for putting the chips in the middle here, but they better be right on their assessment.
