Braden Smith, Michael Pittman, Darius Leonard, Jonathan freakin' Taylor.  Don't undersell your GM.

Like I said, we've had tons of 2nd rounders. And I don't undersell him. If you looked I defend Ballard constantly. I think he's a top 3-4 GM today. But we've still missed occasionally. And this year I know we've interviewed a couple guys I hate. That always makes me nervous.

BTW, I hope Cody Pickett balls out for the Steelers. The constant squawking about his hand size started to become a drag.

I like NFL.coms take on Quay Walker;

 

"Will Eventually Be Average Starter"

LoL. Well worth the selection.

I know, I'm being facetious. It is a fun take though, after all the debate here. I don't even know which scout NFL.com is using anymore, so take it for what it is.

Another fun take on the 'average' eval. Take it for what it is:

Think you guys might be reading it wrong. I almost read it more like they were impressed a school as small as UC-Chattanooga managed to push their worth right up into the 1st round.

I almost saw it more as a compliment. Just a different take. Watch again, see if I might be right. Not like I'm 100% sure.

Yeah as a Pats fan I don’t mind this, I even sent it to my friend who’s a Ram fan. It’s not a pats roast as much as people probably want it to be, it’s as you say above. IMO. 
 

even if it was a Pats roast, it’s funny

It was great, rarely you see authentic reactions like that. Feels way closer to the truth than the myopic 'BB knows what he's doing' contorted nonsense which is going to be shoved down our throats by all NE media over the next few days.

Happy with the Saints first round. They addressed two positions of need. Can't really complain.

Jersey swap I did, trying to improve.

Drafting for need is good. I don't get why some people berate it.

Cause it tends to lead to reaches or overpaying to move up.

Better than having a glaring hole because you decided to draft a player at a position of strength.
