I have no idea if it affected his confidence or performance. Did he drop a lot of passes his rookie year? Maybe there's a correlation between being worried about your footwork and not as much on the rest of the catching process. I mean, I get it. The Rams' receivers dropped passes last year. The only alternative to correcting that through coaching is to keep drafting wide receivers until you find one or two who never drop passes. At this point our options are extremely limited, so we've gotta have a little faith that these things will get worked out.
It is really a lot simpler than that. All they had to do was to do what many on this board said to do, pick Jeffery instead of Quick.
Sure, it's water under the bridge now. But it just goes to show how critical it is not to take surprise projects at pick #33. You take those guys after the 3rd round. I chalk that mistake up to a rookie GM going nuts. And Snead went Martzian again trading down and picking Pead. I got the sense that Fisher had enough of that when he said he'd get Bobby Wagner mad if they missed on Joyner.
Thankfully, I think they've found their footing after the 2012 craziness.
