Gallup should be a lesson in evaluating draft picks based on immediate readiness.
I said before that draft that the only significant difference between Gallup and Calvin Ridley (1st round, Atlanta) was that Ridley was about a year ahead of Gallup in terms of development in college. My take was the Gallup would be a 1st round pick if he played another year of college football.
Gallup ended up more ready than even I expected as a rookie and now is a solid NFL WR that still have more upside.
My take is that teams tend to over-focus on the ready-now aspect of players despite many scouts seeing players like Gallup with more realistic upside than some 1st round picks. By realistic upside I mean a high probability of actually reaching their upside. I'm not referring to boom/bust freak athlete type upside.
