I agree, he probably would not have made it out of the 5th. If they were that high on him I’m ok with it. They are filling needs and he is one that could turn out to be a diamond in the rough.

Ian Book...I guess.

I’ve never been an Ian Book guy but will definitely keep an open mind. I was hoping for a weapon for Winston or a high upside side like Wade even though he got dragged around the football field last year.

This will make for one hell of an interesting QB situation during camp and preseason. It’s a great story...the Gadget knife, the Gunslinger, and the Rookie. Could shape the teams future.

That’s a good point.

I will say, I think Book is better than Hill.

I was hoping for a safety & not a 3rd string QB in the 4th round. We could use more depth behind Marcus & Malcolm J.

Ian could have been selected in the 6th … anyway congrats and welcome.

Is that a... birthmark? On his face?

YES!!

EDIT: AND he's exactly 6 feet tall???

Are you absolutely positive of that? We have the 34th pick in the 6th round. If they had him targeted there's no way they could have taken the chance to wait it out. If a player is at the top of your board you take him and ignore what some outsider has determined where they think a player should be taken.

Weird draft for us. Adebo is the only good pick we’ve made.
