That about sums it up.
What hype? There is no hype at #29.
Not a very exciting outcome, then again I was not expecting much with the next to last pick. Going down 3 spaces you can get pretty much the same guys.
I would have to say it was a smart move by him. Why give guaranteed contracts for bench fodder. I was hoping he would trade up to get someone decent but it did not happen.
