Yah he was a projected 5th round pick.
I'm sure you guys know so much about how real nfl talent evaluators valued him. You guys think you know better than McCloughan just because you listen to Mel Kiper.
Im not the one who said he was 5th round projection. It was written right after he was drafted.
Exactly my point man. It was written. By guys who aren't employed as an nfl scout. For all we know he could've been rated higher by the nfl scouting community and nobody raised a skeptical eyebrow when we took him where we did. When we have to rely on sportswriters opinions it seems kind of silly to get on McCloughan for "reaching" with the Coffee pick considering we really know jack diddley squat over how a player is actually percieved by nfl scouts who do this for a living.
Once you get outside of really the first round, it's hard to say who was a reach and whatever because no one on here has all that much knowledge of this sort of thing. Give Coffee a chance to prove his worth.
