I feel like he's someone that got a raw deal because he was out there not fully healthy his rookie year, and he kind of got lambasted by the fans.

But I think that's someone that still has a future in Chicago.

And so you still have those growth opportunities there in-house.

So I'm always a big fan of โ€“

And that's why when I do some of these mock drafts or when I speak to people about their specific team and they say, why we didn't draft this guy, a lot of times the answer is already on the roster.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

The fans, which is why we bring up that list of things that I think were a mistake, that mock draft was up there because a lot of times fans just view the first round as the whole roster.
