goodnight another reach...all the promise of the 2nd round...

[Southside Hoosier Fan]

And we get reaches. Sorry all I'm totally disappointed. We still don't have a starting 2nd CB.

Rebuild. 

 

We need everything.

 

Calm yourself.

[Maniac]

Why are they reaches?

 

Because Schlegdaddy had them a little lower?

[DownHillRunner]

Lewis and Komoko (Love that name) Are solid picks IMO. They’re not reaches.

Do you have something to back that up? That's my only concern, that we reached, not the players themselves.

[bananabucket]

Leonard was a reach.  Lewis was a reach.  Smith was decent value.  Turay wasnt necessarily a reach but he's a total project so it's hard to be thrilled.

 

Extremely disappointed with this draft.

Actually, schlegdaddy is pretty accurate a lot of the time. He's more reliable than a large portion of the industry.

You're obviously disappointed...

 

I think this is your 15th or 20th different thread expressing your unhappiness...

 

Can't believe Irsay didn't hire you to be the GM?!?   It's clear you know so much more than Ballard...

 

Hey...  don't let me stop you...  carry on...

 

Hopefully you'll be happy with things tomorrow...

Reach is now my most hated word in the world

I think we need at least one more thread like this. Maybe that will get the point across.

I mean Leonard had 6ints and 8 FF in college... has side line to sideline speed and can cover TEs and RBs.  Sign me up!! Get Luck more protection at the spot where 85% of or pressure comes from?? Sign me up!!

Leonard and Smith aren't reaches at all, I meant the DE's. I know that Ballard is stacking them for a rotational pass rush, but I wonder if he did it early? I love every pick today though. Just watched the presser a bit ago. It's going to be exciting!

I haven’t watched watched the presser yet.  Taped the draft b cause I went to see avengers.  I’m about to our final pick.  I LOVE the first three picks I’ve seen.  Turay May be raw but he’s going to learn from a guy who had a 100+ sacks and 36 sack fumbles in that system!

 He'll never be happy.  No matter who we picked, he'd be complaining.

I don't mind people expressing their opinion....

 

But how about when the same poster has now started at least SIX (6) different threads to express his outrage....?

 

At some point,  it's just graffitti...    it's wallpaper....    and it's everywhere.     And he hasn't even begun to notice that almost no one is agreeing with him....

 

Is that OK for me to object to?

Lol... people need to be able to express their opinion, but don't express your opinion about that opinion... lol...

 

I guess the complaining wouldn't seem so bad or even borderline ridiculous, if it seemed like those complaining, paid attention or even tried to understand Ballard's plan & philosophy...

Oh yeah, it's fine. I thought we reached on all the picks today, but I came around and was even trying to talk the guy out of it. It was actually exactly what Ballard wanted to do. I think Hernandez was sniped from us, but Ballard still got the last O-Lineman on his board that was a starter, and I respect him following his board. He said he was building the lines and is following it, nothing to get upset about here.

If it were me, I’d at least wait until the first game of the season.

 

Even that would be far too soon to be “totally disappointed” by all the “reaches” , but at least you’d have a tiny bit of evidence to support your emotional claim.

[stitches]

I disagree with those being called reaches even though EVERY SINGLE ONE of those were ranked much lower on by personal board than where they were picked. Smith is an obvious BPA pick. After we picked Nelson yesterday we didn't really have much of a need at guard ... like at all... this is not a reach, this is just Ballard having him ranked much higher than you(or me). I think the absolutely same thing could be said about the two DEs we got. DE was probably the position we had most live bodies and good rotational pieces at on defense(except for safety). It would have been reach if he went for the clearcut needs(corner, RB, WR, more linebackers) despite them not being BPA. 

 

The fact that those players we picked were not valued highly by you(or me) doesn't mean they were reaches. It just means Ballard had a different evaluation on them. I just hope his and his team's evaluation is the correct one.
