If he is a bust (as much as a third rounder can be a bust) they're not picking an Alabama player again
Also not sure why there are some Vance McDonald comparisons - I guess the practice dropsies remind people of Vance's drops during games ? They play nothing alike at all. Vance was a solid slot receiver who took a while to learn how to be an inline blocker and who couldnt really translate his receiving skills from college to the NFL. Latu is a conventional tight end who is a worse prospect than Vance receiving-wise since he has a very limited ceiling.
LATU was drafted with one thing in mind... so The ONCE Best Yound Mind in Football can try to prove to his SHANANIGANS that his play call of " Strong Left Tight-End Around Elbow " would have been a 15 yard completion to YUCK in the NFCCG last year..
So yes, Latu's drafting was only BASED on that..
