It was a bit odd. Seems weird to grade a guy so highly when there's no intent on picking him, even under what would be considered an unlikely fall. I've gone back and forth a bit and still don't really see where it all comes together.
Maybe it was more of a formality type thing where the scouts get to have their say in who gets placed where but the coaches get to have their say in who gets picked.
If you allow coaches to influence how the board is set, how do you actually evaluate how well your scouts are doing? On the other hand, could they not have the scouts create the board and record how it fell before giving the coaches some ability to manipulate it in terms of if someone would be taken at "X" pick?
It almost seems as thought it was a foregone conclusion that he wouldn't be there so they didn't really discuss the possibility of him being there.
Who knows for sure. I wasn't all that thrilled to hear Dallas took a guy when almost everyone (including Frederick) said that he expected to go later. The pick has since grown on me, mostly because he's regarded as being intelligent, which is something this team has lacked a good deal of over the past few years. I didn't watch the game the other night but I might look for it and see how it all turned out. Reviews seem to be very good and that is encouraging.
