2019 NFL Draft Day 3

[Discflinger]

This must be where Ballard sees the talent drop.

It's really refreshing that Ballard said that he wanted a certain locker room last year and actually meant it, followed it up with actions. Being honest, trustworthy is a trait that does best if it is from the top down. It is impressive the way Ballard goes about his business

But everyone at least acknowledged Leonard was dripping with athleticism and was an athletic scheme fit. Even people who called it a reach acknowledged how he tested, his wingspan etc.

Willis has none of that, which makes it perplexing to me.

So he’s a healthier Geathers?

I agree it is perplexing. I think Discflinger probably got it right when he said that this is the point that Ballard must have seen a significant drop off in talent. It may not be entirely fair to compare the two. Athletes like Leonard don't often drop to the fourth round.

Do Tell

No doubt Ballard doubling down on yesterday. They want to be more multiple, and they want better options for nickel and dime packages.

This really screams that they watched that KC tape and didn't like what they had on roster running with athletic MOF targets. Two safeties (one of whom is an obvious big nickel) and a MIKE really speak to that.

Still not sure where the rush comes from, but you probably weren't finding an answer on Day 3 anyway.

We will see how this all pans out next season. I'm very excited for.this team.
