Happy for him, but, I'm actually shocked he went this high. Every evaluation I read about him going in was pretty critical of his tendencies which frankly I agreed with. He really had a tendency to try to dance and spin at the LOS rather than squaring and running straight ahead. That said, maybe with competent coaching at the NFL level, and where opposing teams have to defend the entire field, he can learn and develop, and prove that he is indeed a second round choice.
College success/situations can vary greatly from NFL. Matt Hass has an NFL quality OL for his two years at starter, and an excellent running game, yet had two 4-7 seasons. The defenses he was facing had a lot to do with that (so did his defenses, since BC actually could score a bit), but he excelled because of his raw talent and intelligence, not his proven success as a college QB.
