I know right. Every pick needs to be awesome. Not just several of them.

Lol call it lucky if you want but it is still a good signing. Flores saw something in him. He said he saw something in him at the Senior Bowl and talked about him being 2 time defensive player of the year in college in 2 different conferences. Harrison Smith and Matt Daniels both said very positive things about him early on but ok then. I guess Flores doesn't know what he is talking about

It was a lucky thing for us the same way Thielen was a lucky thing that panned out for us. Sometimes you just get lucky hitting on undrafted guys like that and its the reason Spielman liked acquiring late round picks in trying to get guys like IPJ. If they had so much foresight the kid was going to be a special player they would have drafted him instead of, oh say....Dwayne McBride. We did not find him worthy of spending a draft pick on, same as the rest of the league. He could have signed anywhere but we outbid others and had opportunity after we lost Kendricks in the offseason. I'm happy to have him and certainly not complaining, but find it comical watching the usual pack tripping over themselves to fluff Kwesi on unearthing a gem.

If a few is the bar then Kwesi is good. They’re playing several people he’s brought in.

Pace played a ridiculous game. What a massive pick this was. 

So is this a good KAM pick/signing?  B)

Nope. We only focus on the bad signings. Otherwise, it goes unmentioned on the board. 

Pace is playing well and getting better. A sack, 13 tackles and a game-saving INT?

It wasnt a good signing nor a bad signing....it was a lucky signing. Happy to have him, but we along with the rest of the league did not consider him worthy to spend a draft pick on. 

If that's a 'lucky' signing, then the whole Draft is luck with that logic.

Oh come on! Anytime you have a guy passed over 260+ times by every NFL team and he becomes a starter, there's an element of luck involved. Let's not be dense.

lol, dude. Every player in the Draft, except one, gets 'passed over'. I'm using your logic. Not sure how a fan gets to cherry pick what success means for a GM when the player they drafted/signed becomes a good player for the team. They certainly get plenty of blame conversely.

He was passed over IN TOTALITY for an entire draft, including by Kwesi 6 times. Nobody found him worthy enough of using one of the 260+ draft picks on him. He signed with the Vikings because we had opportunity and paid more (likely because we had a smaller overall draft class than usual). When you hit on an UDFA and he becomes an out of the gate starter...it's lucky. I don't know else how to explain it.
