Did you trust Pagano and Grigson evaluating player talent? Hello bowling ball of butcher knives Trent Richardson.
Henry Anderson was cheap talent still playing out his rookie contract and a much better player than the 7th round talent we drafted. Even if he is injury prone we have these rookies to do heavy rotations to keep them all fresh and less likely to get injured.
This draft was a C, maybe C+ at best when we had all those top 75 picks. There were a lot of great players that fell to us in the 2nd rounds where we had 3 picks and we drafted a 3rd round guard instead of a true difference maker.
Ballard doesn't get to claim he drafts talent above team need anymore. Pure and simple. Because there were loads of more talented skilled players than Braden Smith, and in positions of need to boot.
We got a few high risk high reward players, hopefully they pan out or this draft was more of a bust than a boom.

Soooo.....what you are saying is a lot of name players fell to us in the 2nd round and because none of us were even close nor were literally any of the pundits the players chosen must suck? And when you mention more talented skilled players than Braden Smith you mean name players who compile stats but being All-American at your position counts for nothing?
