The risk is obviously always there, but Ream was always about the potential. Besler is a much more polished player, overall.
Goff's news is encouraging, but it seems like we'll have more concrete news to discuss during the winter transfer window. I'm going to go ahead and play Debbie Downer for the time being and propose that we revisit this thread when there's something a bit more specific to discuss. It's looking like there will be a fair few rumors to chew on later this fall/winter.
