Good luck Rick ! Training camp awaits.

Leonard prepped as and played defensive end (reserve) for two years for the Seminoles...

Rick only started playing offensive lineman (right tackle) his junior year, not becoming a starter till the end of his junior year...

With your reasoning... Kamara was a reach as well. Look how that turned out so far.

I am a believer that you can't grade your draft until 3-4 years after the draft. You don't know how they will turn out/develop or how they will contribute that early usually.

Even second guessing these guys after the past couple of years is a bit much they have earned a lot of clout.

You also don't take chances... if you believe this is your guy then you take him.
