Message: <blockquote data-quote="HardRightEdge" data-source="post: 828782">The CB first-round-worthy cupboard was bare when the Randall pick came around. He was generally regarded as the highest rated FS in a draft that was thin at the top of the board.  Now, if he had been drafted to play FS, that would have been arguably a "best available player" pick and the "wait, what!?" hue and cry would have been deafening with the C-D / Burnett combo in place."He played some CB in college" the story went.  Well, I distinctly recall watching the game tape where he was moved to CB.  That was not because his play there was expected to be stellar; it was because the guy he replaced was getting ripped.Drafting Randall to play CB was a reach for need, a projection with little basis to go on.</blockquote>
