Message: <blockquote data-quote="tynimiller" data-source="post: 1060087" data-attributes="member: 6578">Here's the one thing however that I think some struggle with....first round picks have massive expectations and a GM is at times confronted with the choice of:Option A - Draft the incredibly rare traitsy guy who does have good film, has had production but is still what many refer to as raw...he comes in as say a C type player but the sky is literally the limit for his future because he has so many uncoachable things.Option B - Draft the guy that has production, good film, but is capped out on the uncoachable things. He comes in as maybe a B- or C+ player and likely will retire a B at most type guy.BOTH of these prospects 100% are guys you can build a team with....Savage is a perfect example of a Option B type guy...starter level player, but arguably never built anything upon what he was. Starting level players are RARE human beings however....then you have Option A which are your Trey Hendrickson types potentially...take a while to turn into what they are...Rashan Gary might be the best GB example of this...but there are countless dudes like this shoot Travon Walker looked mid-level guy year one being a number one pick...Kayvon Thibodeaux also looked okay first year...Lewis Cine a first rounder who simply hasn't contributed....Daxton Hill has underachieved in many eyes as a first rounder for Cinci....It's very easy for us all to sit without our job on the line or truly impacting an NFL (multi-million dollar business) to say don't draft the prospect who shows signs of being the next Trey Hendrickson and instead get that guy that is likely an 8-10 year pro but never All Pro....and that is pretending we know that much of the future of these guys....folks each year label a guy as raw or needing a few years and they come in and pop immediately (shoot...look at how well Evan Williams succeeded).</blockquote>
