It's gotten to the point where I'm looking forward to draft more because I want the debate to stop than I want to see our picks.
I've never seen a topic take over the board quite like this one. I understand it's a slow time of year with little to talk about but surely there's other things to discuss. It's been the same topic for weeks now, with the same people and the same argument. And it just goes on and on, and on...
Look, I'm not going to knock people for having opinions. But my own is that enitely way too much focus is being placed on a singular pick. The entire draft matters, and I think we can go a number of different ways with the 1st pick and still have a successful draft.
I can't wait to see the Sewell and Chase threads slowly start sliding down the page, until they're long forgotten, and we can actually start to talk about something else.
I feel ya. I've had my fair share of posts on the topic, but I also find myself skipping days on here just from being burnt out on the topic.
That said, I do think it's a very important pick that sets a big time tone for what's important to this team going forward. Yes, of course we can have a good draft either way (except if we take Pitts - that guy sucks), but there is a big drop off between Sewell and someone like Leatherwood.
Just as there is a big dropoff from Chase to someone like Marshall. And there's zero guarantee a great prospect will fall in our laps at 38. So it's very tiring...but I get it.
Btw, anyone who can't remember when the boards were this divided must not remember the early Dalton years. Or the Richard Simmons sig days. Heck, we argued pretty badly over John Ross. Gio vs Hill. Gio vs Mixon. Letting Whit go was a huge debate. Signing Leon or JJo.
We some arguing mofos in here.
