While I understand to a degree, he will have a lot of ground to catch up before eclipsing the range of “baggage with talent” that made it so a guy like Tony DeAngelo was only palatable to 1/16th of the league.
Other guys in the first round projections have better odds at maintaining value. He’ll have a harder time measuring up to that with his baggage.
As 1st rounders for the Knights seem to be trade chips more often than they’re kept around, that knock on character makes him harder to move for value, at the same time that the seemingly inclusive/good character nature of already assembled rosters also reinforces the pick as a head-scratcher.
I just think the Knights could have drafted in Round 1 without belaboring efforts on a jackass they have to ‘fix’ in such a way. Easier to move on a player if he doesn’t work out when they aren’t barking up Mitchell Miller’s tree. Because f*** that guy.

Could have made moves to get this guy in the 3rd-5th round when it’s “Steve Dangle’s Magic Beans.”
