Because his skills at the position are better than suggested, his overall is just nerfed due to weight. I rate him as a 60 right now as a safety with my ratings even with the nerfs. He'll also gain about 10 speed and acceleration as he loses weight taking him from slow lineman to good speed safety. And finally hes cost effective with a currently low talent I can sign him cheap for long term, and due to position he stands a good chance to play out his entire contract despite 9 years with D-line regularly not retiring till year 14-15. And at the price of a 3rd rounder after the draft I just had, I'm more than comfortable with it. Basically this is like trading for a 78ish 4th year safety after all variables are considered (and owner patience regarding weight).
And that's why Portland has a .713 winning record.....seeking the diamonds from the coal.
Oh well, when Life throws lemons at you.........
