Proper interviews are the only thing that might have revealed Jaxson's attitude, lack of interest in being coached, poor work ethic, and boneheadedness.
he wasnt good enough to start at texas.
and his play in ncaas had tv analyst making excuses for him how he only recently switched from football.
it was the worst reach ever.
and because there are some ok guys who went after we must agree it was a desperate move to high ceiling the guy with quite possibly the lowest floor of any pick taken in round one ever.

I was sold after the tourney. Hayes has great talent and the late bloomer narrative had me fooled. We needed a Center and he was far and away the best pure Center prospect in the draft. No doubt, he is a bust. It hurts. But it wasn't a bad move and he wouldn't have slid out of the top 10. Someone else would have taken him.
I do think we are somewhat to blame. There is zero faith in the kid. We kept picking up guys to block him and not develop him. I don't know what was put in place to mentor or challenge him. But raw or not, if you're taken you top 10, you have to contribute by year 2 and play significantly by year 3. Anything less than that is a big letdown..
