Sure, but it's the expenditure of a 6th round pick on such a long shot that's so questionable, not the idea of investing time and energy into developing a player.
Yes, but that's an apples and oranges comparison. Thielen played 4 years of college football and was undrafted. He had considerably more experience, more developed skills and they didn't spend a draft pick on him.Thielen is another player who they've given several years and looks like he could potentially pay dividends this year.
It will be a big key.And that might really be key to MoBo, can he contribute on special teams like Thielen was able to.
