I had no idea BB personally worked out Dennard. That might speak to the Wilson pick more than anything. If you are coming into the second looking at guys like Boykin and Wilson, and you think Dennard can be just as good as Boykin and you have no faith in the safeties further down like Iloka and Martin, you get Wilson and gamble on Dennard. Playing the value game works out every once in a while.
If Bequette is being beat out by Francis, then I have no hopes for him. Not because I think little of Francis, but because Francis had to come from the depths, and Bequette should have had plenty of time to impose himself by then. I was one of the goofballs on the draft forum who was excited by Bequette's athleticism and size. Many of his skeptics did cite his technique and length.
Typically a guy is either with the program or not from the beginning of the season, Dennard and Francis were exceptions with their appearance out of thin air. Maybe we'll get lucky and have a third here soon. By no means should the play of Trevor Scott be stopping a guy if he gets it. It just appears Bequette doesn't.
