Re: Who is the player you dont want at #5 in the draft?
I'll be honest, I haven't really checked out the prospects other than the occasional quick glance at a highlight reel. But I'm all for McC taking BPA. Idc if that's Williams, or Amari Cooper, or even a RT if we trade down and that's the best player on their board, but when I see people talking about can't miss prospects I don't see anyone in this draft that looks like a sure thing. Every year right at this time every prospect gets hyped. The same guys we're hyping up right now we might be asking ourselves in 8 months,"how the hell did anyone ever conclude this guy was worth a first rounder?"
So with that being said, the hypothetical player that I don't want is anyone that really didn't perform that well at the college level, and is being purely hyped based on combine drills (which I really am starting to dislike because the majority of them don't have anything to do with how well you can play football), or how athletic they are, or how their attitude sucked in college but the talent was too good to ignore. Great players have been selected in every round of the draft. Just because we have the 5th pick doesn't mean we're guaranteed a great player. What if a couple years from now the top 5 picks in this draft are all terrible? McC has said he prefers taking players who have shown results on the field, I just hope he stays true to that this year. This entire thing is a crapshoot anyways.
