Just like you want to rip them for past picks ..praise them when they know exactly what they are doing.

I think its fair to bring him up. His knee injury was really bad and we took a gamble but it paid off. I will say I don't remember the reaction being overwhelming negative. Maybe I'm misremebering but I recall a number of people were pretty happy about it. I think part of it was because he was such a great college player and rare talent. Would have been top 5. Could play both ways if you wanted him to. He was so good that if he came back less than 100% he may still be a quality pro. Seemed more worth the gamble. Thats the take I remember. And plus Dave wasn't known for doing that often which helped.
