Man, just stop.  He was a 5 star recruit and playing like one of the top OTs in the nation, a lock for a first round pick.  Then he got hurt, then COVID.  Tons of players missed a year and were still drafted, including a guy at three who played one game last year and a guy at 5 who opted out.  Is that one extra year that catastrophic?  Hint, it's not, he's super young and hasn't touched his potential. I can't wait to come back to this thread in two years because the dude is legit.

Yes, it is. There is only his freshman year to go off of. Selecting him in round 2 was the equivalent of throwing a dart at a list of names and selecting the player that the dart landed on. You can come back to this thread any time you want, because my opinion will never change. I don't care if Little is Tony Boselli, Anthony Munoz and Walter Jones all rolled up into one guy. That is irrelevant. The process this team used to select Little was unprofessional, lacked any research and was completely asinine. I will go to my grave believing this. Just because teams like San Francisco made a stupid move and drafted a player in basically the same kind of situation, is this supposed to sway me? San Francisco made a bad selection and so did we, regardless of the outcome.

It was a terrible pick, regardless of what he does on the field, because there wasn't enough information on him to make him that high of a selection. He hadn't played football in 2 years. How do you not get that? With that said, no one knows what kind of player he's gonna be since there was no game information to gather on him since he got injured 2 years ago. We're flying blind. We hope he'll be good, but we have no clue. We have to wait and see. It was a very risky selection since there were proven players at the same position when we picked at #33 that would've been smarter choices, since we actually had recent game tape to judge them on. 

How about you try and do some critical thinking before you start spouting off nonsense? It might make your brain hurt, but you'll sound smarter.

A terrible pick regardless of what he does on the field?  Lol. If dude is our future LT and plays great it was a great pick.  If you didn't like the pick because he hasn't played in a few years than fine, but it could be a steal and a great pick

No. Again, it would not be a good pick, it would be a lucky pick based on zero research since his freshman season, because there is nothing to research. Period. Lucky and good are two entirely different things.
