I was not talking about who Pace should have picked in the 4th, 5th or whatever round outside the top 100 and thus missed on prospects like Eddie Jackson.
I am talking about a specific player-Jalen Hurts-over another specific player-Cole Kmet.
You said they would waste years trying to develop him when all he will ever be is a high-tier backup. You don’t know that. Just like I don’t know if he will ever be a franchise QB, though I am confidant I have watched more of his games start to finish than you have since he entered college.
It’s pretty simple, if you have a guy with his pedigree and traits who won consistently at 2 of the best programs in the country who also happens to play the important position in the game, you take him over a TE that may be very good. Especially if that means you don’t have to sign Foles to a multi-million dollar contract for that very same role.
