Seems like we could have waited to draft him. On top of some OL Neville Gallimore, who a lot of folks here were high on, was there for the taking if we had stayed at 75.
From his comments Ballard clearly had Blackmon circled as a guy that he really wanted to draft and didn't want to risk him not being there in the 4th. Based on his college production, if Blackmon fully recovers from his ACL then is probably worth the pick.
