I would have laughed in your face before last draft If you had told me they were going to take another forward at #15 last year. && yet, not only did they do just that, they took a forward who was projected as a second-rounder and who was fresh off of an ACL injury and redshirted him the entire year.
Weltman loves to get cute and act like he's smarter than he actually is so I'm fully expecting him to pass on Vassell or another non-offensivley challenged player and do the same thing again.
As much as I kill them for other things, I am guilty of liking the players they drafted. I may not like their failure to move up and be aggressive to get even better players (Bamba draft)... or their failure to trade down and get better value (Okeke draft)... or the way they think lightly of 2nd rounders... but as far as getting Okeke, Isaac and Bamba... I'm ok. I can at least see some kind of methodology and hopeful promise.
