GWTTKB takes
Only 12 total career touches across two ACL tears, genuinely extreme boom/bust, but explicitly the correct range for that risk profile (round 8, nothing else in range has real floor either); the team not bringing in or drafting any real depth behind him is read as a bullish organizational signal, not a red flag.
Fading a specifically inefficient starter (Chuba Hubbard: zero 15+yd runs on 134 attempts, worst-in-league missed-tackle rate) using objective efficiency thresholds rather than vibes
