DeSean Jackson had work ethic issues, Kelly had knee concerns and Hardy had character concerns. We went the safe route again and it is really killing me. I find it funny how Haslett went out of his way to mention Dorsey in the Chris Long press conference. I like the Long pick, but I don't really like the Avery pick. Once again we went the safe route and took a player with less to lose on and not only that but we reached on him by about 35 players. There is a reason why the draft is an inexact science and sometimes you have to take more talent to compensate with the risk because there is still a risk involved of not panning out at your spot. Hopefully Avery makes me eat my words on sundays but I can't help but be a little frustrated.

Reach I think not, Avery was considered a top 40 prospect. Once again he is smart pick not a safe pick. You say it is a reach, then call it a safe pick. Huh? does that make sense? Once again this is the smart pick not the safe pick and IMO it is even a little on the risky side. Avery is the perfect fit for our system and fills a big need. We need that dynamic slot guy who will stretch the field for SJ and everyone else. He also has upside to do more in the future as a dynamic WR. He is probably the fastest and most agile WR in the draft and he is just what the doctor ordered for this team.
