He's got a lot to prove that hes just as good as Arob too. 2016 Arob had everything going against him, 2015 Arob had everything going for him. The truth is somewhere inbetween the two and that's a level that Moncrief hasn't reached yet. 

I hope he does. Just seems odd we are revising history for a newly signed player.  I don't see why some random draft grade proves anything.

Perhaps instead of "revising history," what's truly happening here is we're projecting the future - a future we can't see.  We never saw what ARob was about to become.  We have yet to see where he picks things up in 2018 coming back from a major injury, and where he does or doesn't ascend from wherever that starting point will be.  We can't assume he'll be starting at the same position he was in 2017.  It may be close... or it may not be close at all, and not in a good way.  First year, most guys have to take time off due to fluid, etc.
