McBride was a below avg Hvy but was a still a real fighter, Paul isnt a real fighter. -

Paul is young and has power. Even at 58, I can't see Mike losing though. At the end of his career, he fought McBride like he didn't even want to be there, he seemed not to care. I am getting a different vibe here. -

Woodley bout the signal was caught on tape which made everyone look bad. -
To give more clarity to any age issue you may have read from others...or how it impacts draft picks.: You certainly are aware that players taken in the mid rounds are thought to need some time to develop into starters. And players taken in the first round less time. And top 15 picks probably start after 8 games. How many games did it take BR to play like a top 10 LT? If GMs let him slide to 77 (and possibly beyond if it wasn't for Ballard), do you think they were projecting BR to take 2 or 3 seasons to develop into a Starter? How about a top 10? So yes, if they are going to project BR taking to age 28 to be a top 10 BR that impacts his draft value. The issue is, its hasn't taken BR 3 offseason and 40 starts to be a top 10 player. Its taken him one rookie offseason and about 10 games to play like a top 10 player. So, do the analytics yourself. If you go into the draft thinking player A will take 3 seasons and 40 games to reach top 10 status, you value him at a certain slot. If you projected him to only take one offseason and 10 starts, you place a higher value on him...no? Projecting him to be a top 10 player at age 25 increases his draft value over projecting him to be a top 10 player only when he reached age 28. That's where the age issue comes into play. The fact that nobody thought he could play this well THIS SOON is the reason he wasn't picked earlier. Its not about a contract issue 5 years from now, and possibly getting him for another 4 years after his rookie contract expires. The fact that every GM passed him over shows that none of them had him projected to play the way he has THIS SOON. The GM who picked him in the third round would be the lucky one. It was Ballard.
