yeah about the only contrary opinion I could see is if really the whole league knew the player was only going to play with one team, and therefore his reason for falling was entirely due to an external factor of what was otherwise a consensus first rounder (and I don't think that was quite the story with Fox)


either way by the time they took him they can't be faulted and definitely qualifies as per your exercise
