Consensus? Huh? I have no idea what that means? I offered MY opinion. That’s all. But I can’t keep up with you. You just wrote a very long post about how 32 teams have very similar looking Big Boards. If I had $1 for every time in 13 years I’ve posted that there are 32 teams and 32 completely different looking big boards, I’d be filthy RICH!! In any given year 32 teams may all agree on the top player, but that the further you get away from the first pick the big boards look very very different. The exact opposite of what you speculated. I didn’t agree with one sentence of what you posted here. You’re entitled to whatever opinion you want but it’s not supported by anything. I’ve pretty much disagreed with everything you’ve written since the draft started. But that works to your advantage. I couldn’t possibly point out all the flaws, so I’ll try to be selective. Here’s one argument you’ve repeated the last two years. That Ballard lucked into getting both Woods and Raimann and that he wasn’t even smart enough to realize that Raimann was the better player. What gets me is that I’ve explained the reasoning to you multiple times and I’ve read other posters explain it to you multiple times. And we all say the same thing: That Ballard calculated correctly that because Raimann was 24 and would turn 25 during the season, he stood a better chance of lasting to pick 77 while Woods was taken at 73. But you keep posting the negative Ballard viewpoint as if NO ONE has explained it to you. I think it’s both insulting and rude. It’s what you do when you can’t handle an argument, you just avoid it. Ballard was smart and right and not only do you not acknowledge it, you try to belittle him every time. There is sooo much more I could discuss with you but this post is enough. I’ll be curious if you’ll even respond. -

Great episode! Gotta couple notes here I took: - confirms we were indeed looking to trade up. My gut tells me it was definitely for one of the big 3 WRs or bowers based off Ballard remark “Let’s try and if it doesn’t happen, we’ll let the draft play itself out.” (Paraphrased). - they were interested in Latu but didn’t think he’d be there. I don’t think anyone thought he’d be there at 15 lol. Don’t know where Latu was at on our board but he was obviously toward the top. Also can tell he was toward the top based on Ballard reaction “we got the best pass rusher in the entire draft” - I’m guessing WR was definitely on the top of our board. Ballard mentioned wanting speed at the position. AD falling into his lap couldn’t have played out any better. Also, good to see Reggie happy about his new toys in AD and Gould. - No side remarks or mentions of any corners. I’m going to stick with what I said before the draft and that corner was never on our radar. What also makes me believe that more than ever is that we had the option to choose between the top 2 corners and even in later rounds other corners and we chose not to. I’ve said it before, Ballard is straightforward. If he says “I like what we have” he’s not drafting it unless there’s a player that you can’t miss on. If he says “this draft is deep in ___” you can bet that’s what he has his eyes on and will most likely double dip. He said he likes our corners, didn’t draft one. He said this draft was deep in receivers and OL, we drafted 2 of each. -
That is a very good point, and if I am not mistaken, Turner profiled more as a 3/4 OLB by many scouts. -

I’d say yes. Would have to see what would be fair what he provides, but id say yes. -
