I would think the floor is always considered. And I doubt the team actually thought they had the next Nieuwy - a HHOFer with multiple cups on his resume. Any team making that type of projection for a guy drafted in that position - are fools. I know they made the comments about him being the best player in the draft and what not - so it is partly on them. But I can't imagine they based their decision on getting the next Nieuwy for sure.
