I was never on the hype train, but I think drafting him was a good bet given that we basically never draft very high so won’t likely get a shot at a generational talent.
Getting Ben was us getting incredibly lucky with a great draft class and stupid decisions by teams like CLE.
So having an opportunity to draft a guy who was seen by most to be the best in the class (even a weak class) was a reasonable bet.
But most QBs fail and I’m an “I’ll believe it when I see it” kind of guy. And I haven’t yet seen it from Kenny.
I still think he should get next year unless a great prospect falls to us. But I don’t think he’ll end up being an average starter.
