Scouts can't measure everything all the time. How many people remember Mel Kiper Jr. stating Jamarcus Russel was the next John Elway? Or Skip Bayless stating in five years from now (back in 2012) that he'd rather have Josh Freeman over Cam Newton? Even Scott Pioli admitted they were lucky to land Tom Brady with the 6th overall pick and that if they truly knew anything about scouting he would have been their guy in RD1 back in 2000. It happens. It doesn't mean the scouts were wrong at the time or were flat out wrong to begin with. I remember a few folks here were so angry and dissapointed that we didn't draft Johnny Manziel two years ago over Blake Bortles. Now look how he's panned out for Cleveland. RGIII was another great example. Fisher made out like a bandit and Washington is fixing to part ways with him for good. That's not to say RGIII can't be great again elsewhere. But at the time, Fisher had the foresight and enough trust to know he wouldn't last long or make it very far with his style of play.
