Wouldn’t be the first time guys got overlooked because of size and athletic traits. Brady was picked late and Brees was picked in the second round and Kurt Warner wasn’t drafted at all.. In retrospect all those guys should have gone first overall in their respective drafts. I am not saying Purdy is in the same class as those guys but it happens that guys fall through the cracks and then develop into great players.
I mean when you say it like that it almost sounds ignorant to have taken the stance to overlook them and Purdy in the first place. But absolutely, sometimes the scouts get it wrong... Remember the Chosen Josh Rosen?? The cardinal's may have done him dirty but he went 2nd overall and was meant to be the next big thing. Perhaps I need to reevavulate how much stock I place into what their draft stock was and more into how they've actually performed.
