Parsons and Wolf both fit this style of player- they are top performers but have some notable struggles they've had to push through to find success.

I digress, the problem might be fixed, but for a long time we seemed to be a consensus selecting team, much to our own detriment.
Ah it's a fine line

Feaster and Weisbrod got critized for the opposite and not drafting by consensus and thinking they were the "smartest guys in the room".

I think the key is just to prioritize skill, speed, and previous results over size and intangibles.

You do that and you probably come out ahead more often than not.
