I don't understand why people keep bringing up his draft position when evaluating a player. That is like dumping you current girlfriend for the girl across the bar you have never talked to, huge out with or even dated just because she look hotter from a distance. If we want to evaluate on this basis that is an evaluation of management not Bennett! His draft position has nothing to do with him and has everything to do with how management saw his upside (no age attached to when he would achieve that, see Jankowski) if you are mad at him not being better than players drafted behind him you need to be mad at management not Bennett, I can’t stress that enough.
