[@J2R6T]

​@MacDre-ez2oc yep. Because everyone knows all elite players come from pick 55. So many teams have no idea if they will ever even get use out of their 55th overall pick. Many players at that point are stashed away elsewhere and we almost never get to see them play. If he got picked first round, I get it. But, the pool of players that emerge from that portion of the draft as stars is not large. And if the team feels more comfortable with a player they know vs. one they don't, it is really not a big deal. I get that you are saying but this happens all the time and getting ruffled over someone risking the 6th to last pick on the son of the best player of all time, worth the risk.
