If Ballard had hit on a 7th round draft pick like Purdy we wouldn't be having this conversation (and I know it was lucky but you have to draft the guy to get lucky). Apparently Lynch knew QB was essential and moved heaven and earth to try to find one. He missed on the first rounder but kept looking and found one.
