I don't think I hated the pick but questioned it for sure. Obviously I was wrong there and it worked out.

That being said if the exact same scenario came up this draft - I would likely question it again. Jankowski in working out feels to me like the outlier as opposed to the normal result for such a project.

EDIT: to add - I have no data to show if my hypothesis that these mega project players pan out less than others is true or not. So I definetly could be wrong.
