Halfway home fellas. 59-47 at Half. We just need 24 great minutes, and we advance. -
Some of us gave our opinions on that already. Ballard probably had a group of players in mind. He can't control what offers come in. The deal is for pick 52 and he feels safe making the trade because he thinks he's going to get a good player at 52. After all, he doesn't know for sure what teams will pick whom, or what team will trade up to snipe a player, despite his thoughts of teams had needs for another WR. I think if he was actually targeting AD, he probably would have just picked him at 46 rather than try to read the landscape of who might trade up and snipe. I see Ballard's comments as truly thinking he got lucky with having player with the prospects of AD (I too think he could be our long desired #1...huge catch radius to go with the metrics), with no other team wanting to draft him before 52. Ballard finally discarded ADs issues enough at that point. As far as personality, don't all of the #1 NFL WRs have a bit of that diva persona about them? Not all of them, but its kinda seems like it comes with the territory and has to be sort of expected a bit. BTW, do you think Ballard got lucky with Latu on the board at 15? That seems to be the prevailing thought if you read pundit comments about ATL and Penix...how that pick #8 influenced lower teams, for the good and bad (took him away from LVR, who's GM still "has no QB"). Some here will read that as a slam on Ballard (the folks who need a bright line?), but I think it just shows how much the randomness of a card game impacts how good a GMs draft is or is not. And I think Ballard would acknowledge the same, based on his comments. -
I saw it but I didn’t know it was real. It looked photoshopped in the picture I saw.
