Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 1074123, member: 40"] I can buy this as being partially true. It's not like today--the day after he was drafted--we can proclaim how his entire career is going to unfold. Maybe Grant bucks the odds, makes the team, goes on to have a fine journeyman career [or more]. Maybe he'll become one of those second rounds picks that emerges as a starter, and they'll show his picture every year when the draft shifts into the second round as "evidence" that there is talent to be mined. His professional career is still being written. But I also think that we can assess that his career has gotten off on the wrong foot in terms of how the draft unfolded for him, what the implications are of where he was selected, and what that means in terms of $$$ / the odds stacked against him of making the team and sticking long term.
