Yea, I remember a sportswriter making the case we should trade the pick to Carolina because he played at Clemson.  That poop went on for a bit too. Like we were obligated to do it to make them a regional power lol....   Lots of nut cases are sportswriters, they don't have to just be fans.

It was Vic.

Basically there was so much hullaballoo over how can't miss this kid was going to be, that anyone with a hole at QB would be willing to offer their franchise for the opportunity to move up.

He was called out for the take, and rightfully so. There's an undeniable difference between building a franchise around a QB like Tlaw vs. a QB like Pickett and 2 or 3 extra late first-rounders.
