Quote:Russel Wilson was not "incorrectly scouted and valued."  The value was exactly correct.  You draft a guy as low as you can.  The red flags were real, it's just that you never know if a player will be able to transcend those negative traits that don't seem favorable in NFL projection (such as being short... not having the strongest arm as in Joe Montana, etc., etc.)

 

Red flags? What "red flags" did Russell Wilson have other than his height? His arm strength was never a major concern, and Wilson was off the charts mentally. He was only a third-round pick because he was two inches too short. Tom Brady is an example of a guy that was correctly scouted and happened to transform himself in the pros; Wilson was always a stud.
