This is a good summary of how I feel. I don't mind him as a prospect I just don't like the pick. The "opportunity cost" of the pick was players that look like surer things with similar or higher ceilings, all we gained was Sieloff.
If we took him in the second round then I love the pick. But that we traded down from 15 when some still very good prospects were on the table to then draft a project is what bothers me. And I believe it's one of the big reasons Feaster and Weisbrod were let go.
