Instead, thought they'd be "safe" and take the normally safe top OT on the board. Mediocre plan executed poorly.

Really? Were you there in the war room and are certain they didn't have a plan after Shelton was picked? Really?
I can assure you that we didn't panic. To imply they didn't have a backup plan due to one player being picked ahead of us to a team that was obviously in need of a player like Shelton is ridiculous.

Andrus Peat was the next best player on their board so they stuck with their plan.
