I was referring to the fact that in most draft pubs and web sites, he was considered a second round pick, perhaps late first. So from that perspective, the 10th pick would be seen as a stretch, at least in some corners. In that sense it reminds me a little of the Mankins pick, when they made an unexpected choice (again, in the 'experts' eyes) considering where they were picking. This is even a greater degree of that. Lou, I don’t want to leave the impression that I personally think this is a reach, because I wouldn’t know one if saw one.
