Thielen On Historic Pace

The sidenote on Thielen is his surprising ascendance as an UDFA totally mitigates the whiff on Treadwell. Adam is legit.

Better to be lucky than good? The front office and scouts didn't just whiff on Treadwell, they flushed 2 1st rd picks including Flashie too...Then go back to all the swing and misses on FA WR's. Yuck. Ick. Poopie.
Now they've got an udfa and a #5 rd starting @ WR. And they're both damn good too.

I like the way Spelly works the draft up and down. I think he is one of the Top 10 drafting GM's and is pretty darn good at free agency and trades.
I think I heard an announcer say during one of the games this season year that Thielen is an undrafted Free Agent from Mankato State, where he only had a small scholarship.
When I see Elflein play, I just don't get how he dropped: he's stout, strong and incredibly mobile. The guy attacks the 2nd level. A starting OL at Ohio State is a great pick to place a bet on upside with: they are athletic and well coached. Usually top level prospects coming out of high school.
