I haven't watched many Washington games since Locker was drafted, but I did watch a lot of senior bowl week and Trufant won damn near every 1on1 drill and was very impressive in his technique IMO. Add to that the fact that he has damn good measurables and that Atlanta is losing Grimes and Robinson to free agency and I thought it was worth the minor reach it took to take him at 30...if he can absorb the coaching he would get in Atlanta, the kid has a sizable upside.
I also reached a bit for Tavon Austin for the same reason I did so for Julio Jones a couple years back (when I drafted him at 6, the slot he was actually drafted at)...elite upside as a playmaker.
In todays NFL I'll take "reaches" like those all day.
Even if it affords me the nickname "bossreach"
