For some reason the term "hedge fund" springs to mind.

Nothing is for certain until it happens. So, check this out: here is the list of the #3 overall picks from 2005 to 2015. Tell me which ones you think lived up to the pick and which ones didn't:

2005 Braylon Edwards

2006 Vince Young

2007 Joe Thomas

2008 Matt Ryan

2009 Tyson Jackson

2010 Gerald McCoy

2011 Marcell Dareus

2012 Trent Richardson

2013 Dion Jordan

2014 Blake Bortles

2015 Dante Fowler.

The question is not if he is worthy of the pick.....the question is will he live up to that pick.

Wait... What???

Simple.....all pundits/evaluators say that Bosa had the talent and the college record that warranted him being taken #3 overall.

But then, so, apparently did all those guys that I listed above that were taken with the #3 pick. But how many of them have produced up to that projected level I would say fewer than half. Certainly, since the Browns had like 3 of those 10 choices it didn't work out for them 2 out of 3 times. Braylon...no. JT...yes. TR....no.

But no one knew that going in. We have to wait like 5 years to determine.

Not in college he wasnt. And people who watched his first couple practices with the chargers say physically he's ready. So that means young joey didnt sit at home listening to his techno. Dude was out preparing so he's hit the ground running. Theres a maturity there. Other guys in that situation partied during their time off and it took longer to get them up.

Kids the real deal.

Based on college performance bosa coyld have gone #1 easily. Doesnt mean he cant flame out but what else fo we have to go on? Dude was reknowned for working on his skills as much as the physical preperation in the weight room.

He ain't ready. He might be in great shape but he isn't in football shape.

But of just about anyone out there, he will get ready in about as short a time as anyone. He's got a game tonight, no?

Remember too daddy was a first round draft pick so he knows what's at stake and the good blood lines PLUS he played at the OSU so he's no stranger to big time football.

Question is between the ears and knocking the rust off. (and hope he's no Maronivich or Leaf and just doesn't want to do it, it happens)

Why would they not play him otherwise? Afraid he will get hurt before the season's first real game? That would usually be the case with a starter. I guess they must not want him to get the rust off, or get some reps in in their system. Why else would they not give him a tune up?

Because he's not ready? As in not in game shape and/or does not know his assignments?

Gip, he has not been around the team since OTAs.

And....so sitting him in a preseason game is the way to get him in better game shape....and to get him to know his assignments. To quote you: No, just no.

How true, you can lift weights and run track all you want but you must read and get hit by guys in the other uniforms to be ready to go. And he's a rookie yet the only first rounder not signed , geezzz.
