Here's some discouraging thoughts on this kid from some scouts Bob McGinn talked to prior to the draft:
JEFF JANIS, WR, SAGINAW VALLEY STATE
AFC scout: "Big, strong guy. Little straight-line. He's got straight-line speed so he can run by people. But when he starts having to run routes, he struggles a little bit in and out of his breaks."
AFC scout: "He's horrible."
NFC scout: "Free agent. I don't think he's going to be much better than that. He's no Jordy Nelson, all right?"
NFC scout: "He's a good small-school player. Raw."
AFC scout: "He ran real well at the combine but I didn't like him down there in Mobile."
AFC scout: "No, he's not a player. He caught 1,000 passes but he had 1,000 chances, too."

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."
