Yes, but front offices often make the safest choices possible as they're more concerned with short term job security than anything.

At least Fitt actually was running late for dinner.

True

Richardson is just too much of a wild card. I mean, I'd get it if there weren't two excellent prospects that seem NFL ready right now, and maybe he ends up destroying the league (I doubt it though), but I couldn't pass up BY or CJ for his potential.

Although it would be very Panthers if he falls to 9 and he would have been our pick at that spot, and then he does blow up for whoever takes him, and whoever we draft disappoints, lol.

Don't worry. They'll meet him at the  for breakfast instead.

There's no way to know for sure if he can ever be as accurate as the top two guys.  I wish McCown had gotten the AR video out before he got the QB coach job so we could could get a more honest read on how he feels at least

I think that cost that channel a boatload of views. 

If it's in the can they should release it anyway.

Which is crazy because they've traded away so much for the pick.

I wouldn't be able to understand being so aggressive with the trade then taking the 'safest' pick.

I actually think he gets someone fired on both ends of the spectrum.

Either he blows up and the owner(s) of the teams that passed on him ask why their GM didn't take the next great, or he busts high and those same owners asked why they took him so high. 

I'm leaning towards him being great, but he needs to land in the right spot.

I had wanted a waffle house fight gif, but couldn't find one. This will do though

The realization that they made such a move that cost so much sets in along with the idea that being wrong means their jobs. Honestly, if you move up to 1 like they did, then you shouldn't care about playing it safe afterwards. Even the safest prospect can bust, so just take the guy you feel will be the best.

Not everything can be developed. There’s an “it” factor that some guys have that I don’t think Richardson has. You can’t teach him to love film and eat and breathe football and be a perfectionist of his craft, that’s something that comes from within.

And we, fans, don't know if he has that drive or not. All we'll ever know is hearsay.

What makes you think he doesn't love film and / or football?

With regards to the 'it' factor, Stroud is the one that worries me there. Absolutely stacked rosters the two years he started and zero big games won.

True to an extent. We do know he had a 53% completion percentage. I find it difficult to believe he applied himself as fully as say Bryce Young or CJ Stroud, especially given his immense physical talent.
