Mr. Irrelevant

That is almost a given, lol

I think most of us (all?) hoped that we could somehow grap one of the top three WRs or TE Brock Bowers, but that’s didn’t happen. I’m happy that 1) we at least tried to move up (which means that Ballard is capable of doing it, I had my doubts) and 2) we got the top DE rusher instead which is super important in the AFC that is fully loaded with QB talent at many teams. Also, I really did like that Ballard said Latu was one of the 4 to 5 players they considered Elite in this draft. I’m warming up to this!

What are you on about? They talked to him at the combine, I think a scout also talked to him earlier. And Chris Ballard had tons of questions on his medical status, go listen to Ballard’s press conf. They don’t bring in guys for multiple interviews if they feel good about their character and work ethic etc. He was deemed good from the start.

If there is a special player that you think is gone for sure at 15, just do it. Would you? Situational of course…

Pick 9 should give us a very good player.

We could play here, higher up is probably too expensive.

That would of course be the ideal outcome. Fingers crossed!

This goes against everything Ballard would do, however it would be something that Irsay would love to do as he is a romantic. Probability is very very low though.

Nah, Wilson is just a backup QB and the rest of the NFL goes like this on that trade:

Hopefully he would!

Having said that, I would be more aggressive to get Richardson The best support possible from day one.

Yeah, one thing we have to keep in mind is that they honestly still don’t know whether Richardson will be the franchise QB we all hope he will be. If he doesn’t pan out, the organization needs the ammunition to move for a new QB so I think that is why Ballard is not trigger happy in the draft to move substantially up or spend big in FA by using draft capital. If we had Stroud, things might be different. Texans are safe to spend big as they did. Just something to ponder about.

Regardless of the rumors on either side, I would still be shocked if we actually got Sneed. I would love it, but not seeing it happening.

meanwhile, Chris Ballard is having a glass of apple juice and pondering about the five-year outlook of the DL.
