While it might be argued we reached with our 4th rounder packaged, we weren’t out of line with dozens of projections and he was selected right in the consensus sweet spot (late Day 1).Jordan’s ceiling was #5 overall andI remember reliable sources saying he would either go to Miami early.. New England (#23?) the Packers or the Colts (#34). They were actually spot on correct. The Packers it wasIn my opinion there was a 75% chance Love was selected before #35 overall.  I think Gute was worried that the Colts might leap frog us.There’s a trend I’ve seen with some fans regarding players who underperform in their first full season. They completely write them off as “lost” to somehow appease their disgust because THEY wouldn’t have picked them. AFTER 1 START! So they make unreasonable projections to sabotage the player to allow themselves to cope. You almost can’t debate with crazy.. and if you do it’s contagious.</blockquote>
