Except for the fact that Trae Waynes has horrible change of direction....

@ArifHasanNFL: When asked if Waynes adds new dimensions schematically, Zimmer said yes.

Except everyone and their uncle had him going to the Vikings at #11.

Too much spinning going on.

Let's hope that's the last bit of BS we hear from Zim. If that was the case, they would have walked their card up to the podium the moment pick #10 was in.

Watch the tape. Look at his combine. Play recognition and awareness aren't anything special either. I really hope I'm so wrong about him in a couple years. I have confidence Zimmer can help him though. We'll see.

Oh, cmon. Don't go that route. You can have a different opinion than the front office. I don't claim to be some great GM, but I thought Ponder sucked, does that make me a genius? No, cause tons of other people did too. Hopefully Waynes ends up proving us all wrong that don't like the pick, doesn't mean we have to automatically agree with every pick the FO makes.

Glass half full: allowed only one TD reception in 2014.

Glass half empty: Too many penalties. Not a great tackler. Kalil didn't allow a sack his last year.
