When did he consult you about who they think is elite? -
By Moosejawcolt · Posted
I have heard one GM who says he thinks LTs and defensive players may go earlier than expected. Interesting ro see who wil Bowers won't be there at 15. He is special if u watch the tape. -

If we stay at 15 and pick a player I would expect that player to be one of 19 he graded as a 1st rd talent. The only WR’s I have seen in the top 20 of the entire draft are Harrison, Nabors and Odunze. He can sit and hope if he wants but when he’s that close to possibly getting elite seems like it would be smart to move up and get one of them. And who cares if we have to pay him a big second contract. You should be happy you hit on a pick. You really prefer a role player instead of elite? Because of money. Omg that’s an unbelievable take. I can’t believe it. Wow! -
It’s hard to get a read from Ballard's presser. It almost seemed liked he co-signed his young DB room and said they’re just going to roll the dice with what they have but maybe add some competition. I get that he feels they can take a leap, but I’m not sure I can be convinced that Flowers or Jones will ever be better than Quinyon Mitchell or Cooper DeJean. Of all of Ballard’s philosophies regarding team building (specifically related to the draft) the one I have the most issue with is the over confidence and eagerness to bank on low round players and UDFA’s as long term solutions. You have a projected starting secondary consisting a 7th round pick from Yale who did not play well last season, a 7th round corner who well outplayed his draft position, but has clear limitations athletically, a 3rd round safety who is gifted athletically, but we still don’t know if he’s better as FS or SS, and a 2nd round pick who showed great flashes when healthy but is still a question mark. I get rolling the dice with JuJu, but I don’t see why you wouldn’t look for upgrades for Thomas and Jones/Flowers. I know he said he’d like to add competition there, but drafting a guy 4th round likely isn’t going to give your CB group a boost. I know he said they’re technically not young in his eyes, but they are young. If you’re going to add another “young” corner, add one with high end traits and skills. I’m not dead set on Mitchell or DeJean in round 1 or bust because I also like a couple day 2 corners. I’m just saying I’d much rather take a shot with one of them than just run it back with the same group. Where we really need talent at for sure though is Edge. -
