LOL. Its not shocking at all if you bothered to understand anything about what my consistent message has been about capital being devoted to positional value...instead of Gs, ILBs, RBs, and goal keeper FSs. When and if it would ever happen, I'd be happy. I figured it would happen at some point. Bust is a term used to describe a 1st round pick that went bad, and GMs should know enough about 1st round picks to not pick a bust. That's my standard, and opinion. QBs are an unusual pick, because so much "hope" and consequence is attached to the pick, so busts are going to happen with QBs. GMs should never whiff on a position player in the 1st round, IMO. What were talking about here are guys that might play better than anyone figured...which we know because 31 GMs passed on lower round guys multiple times. The evaluation processes that all teams use....and professional pundits as well....fail to capture that lower round prospect. So when the standardized process fails to recognize proper value, a team being rewarded with great value can be described as having good luck. -

It was with McAfee, I did see that interview. I responded to this post with the following response when @RollerColt said something about it. Just in case you missed this response. -

For what it’s worth…. Ballard has done an interview in the last day or so where he said he will never make a decision just to appease the fan base. I believe the interview was either with Pat McAfee or Rich Eisen. -
I wasn't expecting to talk about Raimann, if that's what you're saying. I brought it up to discuss the ideas that you have have also been saying about how the draft most likely works. As opposed to some...when AM becomes a star...would imply how Ballard knew he would be a star over every other GM, knew that no other GM would take AM, and patiently waited to get an offer from some team to gather more picks before finally picking the player he would have taken at 35 if he had the pick. IOW, imply that there was no shred of luck to it at all. I also brought it up to put it into perspective compared to how Polian used to say how it all "went as expected". As Ballard admits "nobody knows how this stuff is going to play out". Not even the GM.

That's what I was saying. Ballard wasn't going to say anything other than defending his choices and defending his new players. To me, coachspeak and GM speak is pretty similar. Take a look at the Falcons GM's pressers.
