  1. With Mr. Irsay taking a step back from being the one that always talks to the media I think he's given Ballard full authority to be the figure head of the organization. When he first started you could tell he wasn't quite used to talking with the media but he really came into his own. He seems likeable and relatable to both younger and older generations.

     

    More importantly I think he feel's he needed to restore some goodwill to the fanbase and right some of the wrongs of the previous administrations. Grigson was pompous and rude and would only talk with his BFF Dan Dakich and Polian at the end of his tenure was kind of a secretive crank.

    Lol not even....we didn't even have a decent safety at the time it was definitely a position need back then

    But he was also BPA. He was a top 5 prospect on NFL.com that fell because of injury. Everybody seemingly wanted Tak McKinnley or Rueben Foster, Tak hasnt done anything and Reuben is practically out of the league. Hard to really slam the Hooker pick at all.

  3. One of the biggest issues with the Grigson era was him thinking the team was closer to competing for a title than it actually was. That led to all the failed FA signings and more importantly the Richardson trade. I'm good with a GM actually sticking to a solid plan and his convictions. Build the roster the right way and build the depth.

    Interesting information linking Funchess to the slot:

     

     

     

    I've always thought this could be an intriguing possibility for Funchess. The traditional idea of a slot receiver has changed and you're starting to see bigger guys there who can bully smaller nickelbacks. If it's TY and either Cain or draft pick on the outside and Funchess in the slot, that could be fun to watch.

    So what are you guys thinking the chances of trading up for “our guy” is? NYJ has come out & said they’re willing to trade. I could see Ballard considering it. Do you guys think giving up or first second would be worth say.. Q.Williams?

    (I’m sure this has already been asked. Didn’t feel like looking, sorry haha)

    According to the draft trade value chart, every pick we have wouldn't add up to the Jets' number 3 overall pick.

     

    You'd be looking at our first, both seconds, next year's first and more. Very very unlikely.

  6. Clearly the Colts were trying to bulk him up with two dinners.

     

    I don't really know how to feel about Burns. To me he's almost a carbon copy of Turay but maybe a tad more polished. Would the Colts have room for two designated pass rushers that can't really hold up against the run? I wouldn't be mad if they took him, but that's the concern I would have.
