He has proven that he could easily have been taken with the 1st overall pick of the draft and he would not be considered to have been a reach. Anyone who makes all pro has proven themselves.
I thought he was the best player in the entire draft before we selected him, but also knew he was highly unlikely to be selected that high because there were so many QB needy teams last year. As happens every year QB's are selected well above where they should be taken. I have said this for the last 30 years.....you build a franchise from the trenches up. Provide decent protection and you can contend with a slightly above average QB. Have a DL that can stop the run and rush the passer and the rest of your defense don't need to be elite level talent.
