Was it the sexy pick? No

 

Was is the BPA? Maybe

 

Is it the right pick? Only time will tell

I do agree intellectually, BUT man my gut is sick. I am less than pleased from a draft value standpoint/position need for this team. Not saying that I loved Dix at 17 either, but I would have felt a heck of a lot happier with Martin, though as you say only time will tell.

I think my pissism is compounded by the fact that Cleveland manipulated themselves quite well in this first round, addressing needs with some stellar potential. 

But again only time will tell, and I hope I look back on my grumpiness with a chuckle in a few years.

Furthermore, Pitta gets it. This organization prides itself on grabbing a lunchpail and going to work. I like the fact that it he's been back just a few weeks, had an immediate impact on the field, and is telling it like it is off the field, too.

Check out his perception of media coverage and how the team responds:
