He had no control over it. Had he fallen to the 2nd or 3rd round, maybe more fans would truly appreciate what he accomplished.It's like overpaying for a Chevy Nova. It's not the Nova's fault that you paid too much and then had higher expectations. It is what it is. Back to football, the higher draft slot often means that you don't get the needed luxury of sitting on the bench for a year and learning from your elders. You get thrown into the fire and then instantly judged. I would NEVER ever want to be a first round pick. To use a NASCAR analogy, I'd rather start from the back and work my way through the field instead of letting everyone take their shots at me from the green flag.</blockquote>
