I think we still see him forward of the ball, Bruest was a learning exercise.
I would have just rather take Winder late in the draft last year (spewing we missed out on Spicer by a few picks).
If we want a quick tackling pressure forward, perhaps we should consider the radical idea of taking a guy who has actually played as a quick tackling pressure forward before and not a kid who is a midfielder trying to reinvent themselves as a forward.
This is no slight on Scott who has busted a gut to get where he is and I hope he is a success.
