It doesn't mean with absolution that he will work out to be a great player. Veach just has to damn well hope it is that best-case scenario that plays out in the end.

So your opinion is the odds don’t change after Burkholder examines him? Really?
And it needs to work out “with absolution”?
All higher upside players drafted at premium positions later in the first round are typically larger risks. FAU has contributed effectively 0. Kingsley one round later was a huge net negative.
There were dozens of people on this forum who probably would’ve been okay trading 2 1’s and 2 2’s to get into the top 10 to take a tackle like Campbell or Membou.
Would that have been much less risky for the future of this team?
