- No disrespect, but Chris Grier would have indeed selected Jacob Rodriguez. And please do know I’m not even a fan of Chris Grier, and I think he drafts horribly. Rodriguez was a 1st rd talent who fell into second because of age, size, position value. But he’s a baller · Quoting Austin Jackson Stan: What’s crazy and I’m sure I’m not the only one, I instantly knew the second he was drafted that he would be a star. It was the most un-Grier like pick I had ever seen bc he was such an obvious stud. That’s when I realized that things were different now with this franchise.
