Horrible Pick.

[ThankEvans83]

We probably could've gotten him a couple rounds later. I was confused a bit by it.

Horrible Pick.

It's ok to just admit when you are clueless instead of bashing a pick.

Hey, you have some insight on this guy?

I think a few people are hoping a thread from you... ;)

I don't need a thread, a post will do.

The first thing that comes to mind with Fine is that he's an all around player. Very good blocking, very good catching (mostly, I'll get into that in a sec), very hard worker and very tough. Basically, you name it, the guy can do it. He may not be a superstar in any one single area, but he does everything really well.

I've seen this guy take hits over the middle and hold onto the ball that would possible kill other players. There was a catch in the Orange Bowl he made for a first down where he got leveled and had his helmet knocked off, but he didn't let go of the ball.

The only knocks I have on the guy are he isn't the fastest (not that he's slow by any means, mind you) and that there are times when he is wide open and is looking to run with the ball before he catches it. More than once I've seen him drop wide open passes because he was already looking up field. That's something that can be fixed, but it could be frustrating as a fan sometimes.

Also, what we got is a player who will bust his butt every play of every game. I never watched Fine and thought he wasn't giving it his all. This guy is loved in Lawrence for a reason.

He Doesnt stop on plays and it doesnt hurt to have a extra blocker for TE and Marshawn

[JinxedBill]

I like the pick, I just was a little shocked because i thought we could have got him at a later pick...

OBD must know something we dont and i look forward to being pleasently surprised this year...

[jewkano33]

Proof you have no idea what you are talking about, not that that is really a surprise at this point. Do you always bash players you know nothing about?

Once again, no proof, just your opinion which doesn't really amount to much.
