It was a cold, realistic outcome. Ballard needed the scouts for this draft
because there wasn't time to replace them. the scouts probably knew that
and were ok to get paid until the moment came. What this really tells us is
that Pagano is on a very short leash. I really wish he had pushed for his
dismissal as a condition of him getting his job but I guess he had to offer a fig leaf to Irsay. It does tamper my excitement for the season. Luck is entering
his sixth season, there aren't any more to waste.
