When he was taken in the second round I was shocked but the more I think about it the more I am certain that BB knew he faced competition from somewhere and made sure to get his guy.
If its your turn to pick and the guy is top of your board then you go get him. He was rising as evidenced by the amount of interst shown by teams in the last couple of weeks. We really have no clue as regards just how highly he was rated by the experts, and I'm not talking about Kiper et al I'm talking about the pros.
BB did this a couple of years ago and Vollmer worked out. In his presser last night he actually said he doesn't know who picks the players for the all-star games or the combine. He then posed the question as to how Brandon Brooks wasn't invited to the Combine and then asked how Vollmer was left out.
He compared the pick to Vollmer in that he was invited to any of these things either. And if a player doesn't make it to any of these all-star games or the combine then he is never going to be on Mel Kiper's radar. Kiper called him a reach but I'm telling you right here and now that he hadn't a clue about the guy when his name was called last night.
I'm gonna say that he will be a first rounder in the SI draft redux in two to three years.
