re: Would you have drafted Michael Sam?

I think you give them too much credit, it will always be a lingering liability. Sam will carry with him a media circus like that of Tebow and he will until he leaves the league or someone that is a better player comes in to carry the torch.

He was just good enough for there to be a torch. It should just be about football, like Sam said himself. The media has to make it about more than that, and they'll use anything for that to be the case. There's a baseball movie that's either already out or coming out about being the first Indian baseball player.
