Quote:I wasn't 'never a Fowler fan'. I believe I had him 7th after the 2 QBs, Beasley, Amari, Leonard Williams, and Bud Dupree. That's hardly hating on someone.

 

Effort plays aren't a bad thing, nor is being schemed into production. It's just not what you expect out of the first non QB taken in the draft. You can't stunt him every play, heck you can't do it more than just a few plays a game...which they have been doing successfully. 

 

At the end of the day he's gotta line up across from his man and beat him from time to time and he just hasn't done that, not even at UF. He just doesn't have the speed or bend to beat an NFL quality OT consistently. Hence why the comment that if we pretend he was a day 2 pick it would be more proper to what he is delivering. Yannick is the one delivering plays that would be indicative of an elite draft pick thus far.
