Re: A Rapid Rise Would Not Surprise.

Well above average for a pick 60ish who is still only 20.
I find the criticism of him delusional in the extreme - not that I think he's a guaranteed success. But again - lets have just a little perspective. 20 years old / pick 60ish.
To me he looks like a future Mark Lecras type - although I think he'll be a much better contested / high mark than Lecras. Already is probably.
I only left guys like him out my previous post because we've traded out experienced players to get access to high draft picks. Those are the ones I'm looking at to drive us up the ladder as of now.
What I like about Jack is that he is a footballer first and foremost. He may lack the athleticism of many, but I think that he more than makes up for that with his ability to get in the right positions and to generally use the ball well when he gets it.
He certainly has a way to go to cement a spot in the 22 but he certainly has the football ability to do so.
