I usually pay attention to these things, but somehow I guess I totally missed what it was that Deion Sanders supposedly said that ticked off NFL GM's and turned them off on his son..
Thinking about this pick for a few days has helped give me some prospective that I guess I didn't have when it was announced. Sanders was supposed to be one of this drafts bright and shining stars at QB..... Literally all of the Talking heads thought so and said as much.. Some strongly and others a little less. The Browns picked him up so late that even if the kid bombs (seems doubtful) he's a steal. So what the heck. Take a shot. See what happens.
As for the Haslams pushing this pick, listen, they've spent billions on this team, so they forced a 5th round pick. So what? (that's if they really did that) Somewhere along the line, the Haslams have earned the right to make a few decisions.
I don't feel this way about it, if they truly forced the Watson deal.. That was meddling. Or if they'd have forced a first rounder that the GM and Coach didn't want. Again, meddling. But the 5th round,, Who cares!
