I think it is more of a case where we overbilled the guy(ala Marko Mitchell), not thinking he is going to be a bust, but thinking he is going to be a potential stud. Even if he does pan out nicely, we still need to draft him some help. I think that is at the bottom of Jay's views. We just overhyped the guy like we did last preseason with Mitchell, Thomas, and Kelly, only to be crapped on when the smoke cleared. We thought the world of the guy in the preseason, even when the body of work wasn't all that spectacular, then showtime came, and he didn't show us anything that we allowed ourselves to be hyped up about.
