    I don't get this sentiment.

    It happened. He did it. He's taken responsibility for it. It may have contributed(helped) to his falling in the draft. Mortenson and Schefter both said it caused some teams to remove him from the board, so it was relevant. Not everyone was aware of the incident. It'd be negligent of ESPN and NFLN to not talk about it.

    Don't get me wrong, I like the player but hate the pick. At pick #19 on an upcoming team on the brink of being 8-8 to 10-6, you want someone to come in at pick #19 and contribute right away.

    When I watched him last season, he was an absolute beast that could've easily warranted a top 5 pick. Reminds me a lot of Fletcher Cox. He can rush the passer, stop the run and seal the edge. Those are things we've needed for a while now.

    It's just draining to me right now to know we won't have him next season.

    He's gonna be our new haynesworth. With a better work ethic.

    We're rebuilding the late 90s D. I'm all for it. If he needs a redshirt year, so be it.

    There were plenty of people who wanted to take the risk on both of those players with that pick and our #33 overall pick.

    I'm totally with you, it's so bitter sweet. Draft is always a lottery no matter who everyone says the 'sure thing' guys are and so now he has to overcome that and his ACL repair to start showing progress in 2020 on a team on the fringe this year. Ahh, i'm so torn about this despite his clear upside.
