Peter King of the MMQB came out with a great story Sunday talking of the hits and misses of the NFL draft and how some picks work out while others wind up being better in the end.
The final one was in reference to San Francisco 49ers linebacker Reuben Foster. As the article states in bold, “Sometimes your best draft choices are the picks you don’t make.”
And then some background went in on the New Orleans Saints side of the entire Reuben Foster deal. For those who don’t know or forgot, Foster was on the phone with Saints head coach Sean Payton right before the 49ers made the trade with the Seahawks to select him.
