I can't dislike it at this stage, because it's a premium position where we have at least somewhat of a long-term need and the upside seems reasonable.
But, it's not what I'd have done. I'd probably have gone Burden, possibly Green. I don't think I'm even astronomically high on either, I think I'd just have been a little more risk-averse with this particular injury.
I'm not sure I buy the whole "if it doesn't work out, no worries, it's the right move" - I mean, it's a defensible move right now, sure, but if the injury doesn't work out and a number of the players picked after turn out to be blue-chip talents, then it absolutely wasn't the right move.
But man, if it works, this and a few others will be funny threads.
