you don't roll the dice on an upside pick only to condemn it without letting him realize potential

This isn't one card stud. It's Texas hold 'em - and we haven't even seen the river.

I think the same could be said for "rolling the dice" on a #1 pick.... you don't.

Exactly. We can all play this game from either side of the coin. Ultimately, we were all saying we needed a pass rusher last year, we had one looking right at us, we took the upside guy over the more ready to go guy. So far through 18 regular season games? Advantage Hutchinson. 

It's OKAY to call that out. Just like it's OKAY to play the wait and see game with Walker. All I am saying is that, based on last night's efforts with Hutchinson being chipped blocked, constantly around Mahomes, chasing down plays from sideline to sideline, etc. Hutchinson really flashed last night. 

I am hoping Walker can start the same uptick in consistency or pressure this Sunday and especially against the Chiefs offensive tackles and guard that seemed to struggle at times last night. There's some opportunities, and, again, it's OKAY to hold the #1 [BLEEP] draft pick from his class to a higher set of standards.

FYI. I am probably one of, if not, the biggest Georgia Bulldogs fan on here.
