I agree though, I was surprised he went this high, but it's a solid pick.

Hours before the draft, the rumor was Colorado in the middle of the Round. I wonder what sold the O's on him. Maybe it had to do with the fact that he is closer to ready than the other Prep arms in the draft. I was shocked to see Hobgood go this high.
