Personally if it was my call "No" I want my 2nd round picks on the field this year.

I don't think Ballard would reach for need,and I don't see him having a high enough grade on someone like Jaylon Ferguson to pull the trigger at 26 or 34.

Jaylon Smith and Myles Jack worked out pretty well.

I don’t know how you can be so confident about that. Isn’t Jaylon Ferguson a similar situation to Leonard? Both very productive non-D1 players with question marks due to the competition level.

Went back and read last years draft threads where a lot of people put down the Leonard pick. Glad Ballard makes the decisions and not people here.

That’s all I’m saying. Don’t be surprised if Ballard is higher on a player than you or the pundits and takes him “early.”

If he is available no way Ballard takes a WR... at least I hope not.

Ferguson is D1, led D1 in sacks. He also got disinvited from the Combine due to a battery conviction as a Freshman and was arrested for public intoxication while at La Tech. That alone will drop him rounds on Ballard's board (may even drop him off).

Tillery had surgery today to repair a torn labrum.

Normal recovery time is 3-4 months.....so he should be ready for training camp, assuming no setbacks.

With the depth of DL in this draft - perhaps he may slide a little down the board??

He put up 23 reps of 225 with a torn labrum. Wonder how many he'd put up healthy?

Tillery seems like he'll be a good pro. I hope he is not the BPA at 26.
