This was a bad pick because the asset wasn't fully leveraged. If you want to pick a sleeper, great, all the power to you.. But do it smart. Feaster could have traded down to make this selection and picked up a 5th rounder or better.

Usually when teams trade up at the draft it is because they want a specific player and have a feeling they will be going soon and want to get their foot in the door while it's open. If there was no teams with that feeling right then, then no one would be willing to give up an additional pick just to move up when the difference between later round picks is negligible.
With the lack of trading up/down in the latter rounds I don't believe that was actually a possibility.
