In response to "I'm somewhat befuddled by the bears pick. Was he projected first round? I get the athleticism and potential, but with a resume that thin is he going " by pmb

I have to be honest that I'm not crazy about it either.

This is Howie Long's son/Chris Long's brother. He has turtled a bit under the expectations of being a football player in that family. I had seen him mocked to the Falcons at #30 and even St. Louis at #22 a couple of times.

Nobody questions his talent but he hasn't been a very consistent college player. I would not have taken him at #20...or really in the top 75. He's a developmental prospect rather than an immediate starter.
