You're a huge homer like the rest of us and you don't have a choice now but to like him because he's a saint.

Yea draft picks are kind of like girlfriend. Even if you thought she was cute at first and were just gonna hookup with her, then you start dating her, all the sudden you're finding cute things about her and your 6 is now a 9 in your eyes.

Having said that, I'm warming up to the pick. I still wish we went elsewhere, but I see the logic. I'm in the group that things you could have got just as much value at the safety position by movin down. I KNOW, you have to have a dancer, but that article doesn't mention whether they were actively tryin to move down, something I would have been doing.

Also, versatility scares me. It's up there with 'potential' for a draft word. Is he a jack of all trades or a master of none?

Definitely an interesting pick. His genuine love for the game and for putting in the time to scout others and polish his trade off the field is extremely encouraging, especially if he'll be playing in Ryan's defense.
