At 16 the guy doesn't have to be a monster...he comes in with little pressure to transform our defense...everyone already looks at him like a piece and we resisted the urge to take one of the incredibly overrated QBs that this draft foisted upon the NFL.
On top of that this guy is going to be a by-the-books type of player. We won't be worrying too much about how to convince him to fit into the scheme or anything like that. Having a motor guy with some talent is brilliant. Picture Lorenzo Alexander but with better skills.

Great post. I voted "A" as well, for all the reasons you said.
