They've drafted O.K., I don't know if I'd even say "pretty well." You're not wrong about it being somewhat of an over-reaction. I just don't think this organization can be affording to miss this badly on third rounders right now. It's not like they took a chance on him in the sixth or seventh where he should have gone (if at all).
Do we really think other teams were champing at the bit to get him this early? I seriously have my doubts but I'm obviously not privy to what our scouts are.
