The book on him coming out was that he had great tools, but was underdeveloped on the field because he was constantly asked to change positions in college. It would be unusual in the extreme to me for them to do that and then turn around and make another sizable investment to replace him. A developmental year was expected, so why would we be surprised? Now if he was just a total disaster on the practice field, can't learn, is a knucklehead, etc. then that's something else. But I don't think we know that.</blockquote>
