This is the kind of decision managers defend loudly now and quietly revisit in November. TheBadTake selected Jonah Coleman (RB, DEN) with pick 9.
Ambition is admirable; miscalculation is expensive. This move could become either. TheBadTake had one premium decision and treated it like a cornerstone, not a coupon.
TheBadTake now carries the public burden of this projection while the roster still holds a C+ grade and needs one more wave outlook.
Verdict: brave on paper, unforgiving in practice. Filed by Talia Press, Columnist with sharp edges.
