So, essentially the team had questions about this kid's character and chose not to draft him. The team goes through change and turmoil, and amidst this change, they receive a letter from this kid that appears to be him owning up to his actions and apologizing for them. Hmmm, okay, maybe he has learned, lets put him back on the list, we can use him as an example of how to help someone become better. Then they draft him, either without doing more homework, or by thinking they can look good by helping him become a better human being. They didn't have the foresight to think about how this could backfire, and did it ever. Now they are back tracking to turn the heat down a bit and even having their GM make an excuse for them that he wasn't allowed to participate in the draft. What has this organization learned? To be more diligent with their homework and take less risks or to be more delicate with how they approach things? I'm worried it's the latter.
