It seems wierd that not only did this team select one guy with some bloodlines from a relative in the NFL but 2 guys in the same draft seems beyond coincidental especially since these two guys were almost not even on radar anywhere.
Was this draft so weak in the eyes of the FO that bloodlines from 2 players (Bo's Brother having a breakout season in 2007 Barrett Ruud and Matt's dad HOFer Jackie Slater) was a key to hoping that somehow it was worthwhile to take a shot on them playing like thier relatives?
May seem crazy to some of you but its the only logical explanantion to me - The odds of 1 team drafting 2 or more players in one draft that had relatives playing pro ball before has got to be monumental odds - I do not remember it happening in NFL history by the same team doing it.
Like I said,Maybe this draft was so bad that taking a chance on these two guys was a shot when there was no worthy player after round 3
If they DO perform like thier relative counterparts then the gamble will have paid off and a steal above all steals in NFL history will be accomplished.
If I had to pick between the two of who makes it,I would say Bo Rudd but don't rule out Jackie's son - Superb professional athletes may run in that family.
