Hell the arguably greatest qb at of all time was drafted at in the 6th round by a supposedly genius organization coming out of one of the most high profile programs in the entire country.Haven't you ever heard Bob McKenzie's thing? "It only takes one".
Ken Holland and Co were a deadlock to take a D at 6... and then Zadina was there. Hell, look at the NFL draft. Aaron Rodgers in his draft year was in high discussions for #1OA and then he's there at 24 for Green Bay. There must be something completely wrong with him, right?
**** at the start of the year, Jesperi Kotkaniemi was a borderline first round pick. He went 3OA pretty much on the strength of two great tournaments. The issue with complaining about Veleno's drop is that it is predicated on his assumed ceiling being lower than the guys in front of him. Like Merkley, Miller, Dellendrea, etc. Teams have different needs and some players who "should" be taken at 15 don't make any sense for them as picks.
Using the appeal to authority argument to state a prospect can't turn out great because he was passed over is so bad. At the end of the day scouts and GM's are wrong more than they're right. If they weren't redraft rankings would be in the order they were drsfred every year.
