He only had 4 years of football and 2 of those in college. He was going to be raw around the edges and it would take time to smooth things out and help him find his role in the game. Making the call by drafting him, like Gute did, shows just how much he and his cadre of scouts and evaluators work at their jobs to ensure they are actually seeing the potential for the future. To me, and I've always said this, you cannot judge a draft class until two and sometimes three years after you make the picks. Even then, you need to realize that some of the picks might not be what you felt fits the needs now, but they did in the eyes of the drafters at the time the picks were made.I have a hunch that Stackhouse, Sorrell, LVN, and Cooper are going to be turning some heads before this season is over, and for all four, they haven't even started to reach the potential that's out there for each of them. Enjoy the ride, it might be a bit bumpy this year but it promises to be even better next year, even though there will be a lot of new faces replacing those leaving as FAs.</blockquote>
