He’ll be built up nicely by the time next year comes around and would have been through a full and complete recovery, maybe honing skills along the way!! By all accounts he’s the real deal so let’s see him develop and not consider him a savior who isn’t available.
Im not expecting a saviour from a kid but when you are in need of a boost and a boost in a hurry why select a player that has no chance to play till next year and one that already has a weakness with doing an acl. He will be at least one years development off everyone else taken in the same draft.
Do we have the list that has time to be that patient ? Surely there were other options that outweigh waiting a year before our pick gets his first look. Bet you he would have been there with our second selection. Raised eyebrows on the night and still does imo.
