If he were "decent" right now, that would be one thing. I'm only saying maybe he becomes that 2 or 3 years from now, and he's already in year two. So in other words, we're talking year 4 or 5 for this guy to develop into something serviceable. That's not what you want when you draft that high. I could be wrong, and he ends up developing sooner, and becomes better than I'm projecting, obviously. But he could also never turn into anything, which is unfortunately the feeling I'm getting.

The 2 to 3 years comment was more of a hypothetical happy ending on my part.
