I mean, you've seen it two offseasons and drafts You can see it in the value ratings more in this draft than the last one. We had more to work with, but you could see the setup of this draft by the moves in free agency as clear as day also. No, BPA is not a myth.

This is awesome because you get to see the perspectives of the scouts--get a glimpse behind the curtain. I wonder whose doing this was; I am curious as to why David Tepper allowed it. Maybe it was his wife. Maybe Dan. At least from my perspective--and probably one shared by other fans--when David Tepper bought the team, he closed everything off too much to the fans, and really didn't give an explanation. Things were obviously done because he (and/or some others wanted to do it). Remember when they used the guise of construction and all that to keep fans from seeing the team during practice? I know there are laws and safety and all that, but Tepper could've made it happen. And, of course, we all know that they essentially fired Jeremy from his independent contractor gig as a photojournalist. I never understood why they'd do that (and the negative reverberations obviously affected Jeremy and ultimately this place--i.e, us fans). The pie was (and is) certainly big enough to throw some scraps to the independents. I realize that you can't necessarily open the floodgates, but a few different perspectives from indy journalists whether in word or photos is a good thing in my mind. So, it's great to see different perspectives. I will say this however: it is not without risk, as you know there will be some buster who will be calling the scouts out if the players flop. I think we should all keep in mind that the buck stops with the GM. It's nice to have one, however, that is so convicted in his people and process--and ultimately success, that he's willing to give fans access to this type of information. Pass this on to Tepper.

Dude, you're probably not going to find many big boards with Hill over Lee. Lee was correct pick based upon value alone.

I know to this point, he's been basically JAG, but don't forget about Metchie.

You're kinda sending mixed messages. Freeling is that dude.

What last pick? I thought we were done.

Let me go do some research.

There's a safety.

I mean QB...were you really expecting that? If it happens, it's likely a meh UDFA added to a meh crowded room. The QB class was largely meh this year anyway.

I mean to be honest, he should. The only thing that could hold him back are those short arms, but he's so technically sound that hopefully he'll be able to overcome that, especially with good coaching.

Short arms and a little undersized.

Well, there's your center

Afaysans. LOL

Boy, you can tell that guy doesn't read his Bible.

I feel like I need a beer. I'm having a good time with y'all. I got a coed baby shower to go to though.

OMG

Yeah, I remember him beating our ass.

Wasn't there another guy named Lance out of NDSU that was a bust...?

That's pro level. LOL

The Blanket it is... ... ...but you know...if he doesn't live up to the billing, it's going to be easy to call him "Wet Blanket."

Don't like that missed tackle rate, but hopefully it's something that can be coached. He's a solid pick for a fourth rounder.

Oh, I don't doubt it. He'll definitely be in the rotation. If he's up to snuff, he'll win more and more snaps.

I'm excited to see what Thorton brings this year.

What I miss?
