Can’t lie I’m intrigued by an offense where Taylor would be the smallest guy on the field. Richardson could be a hell of a mismatch because the QB is always unaccounted for

Holder was on JMV. He was basically embedded with the Richardson camp during the combine (pre-arranged and it certainly sounds like there is some kind of exclusive piece in the works with him).

A few things:
1- He is going top 5 now without a doubt
2- During the workout- while still going, a team called his agent and said they wanted a private session with him- it was a team inside the T10

He did not go much further because of this tease that he knows more about Richardson that most, but when challenged that Ballard may not be willing to take a risk due to job jeopardy and thus may take a more "sure" thing such as Stroud, this was his response.

Steichen is a young unproven HC, a guy that is going to need the grace of a couple years to figure things out. Points out that's not the type of move a gotta win now to save my job GM makes. Then pointed out that would seem to indicate there is a willingness to allow some time for growth and that there may be a recognition that to win big you have to go big.

I say go get Richardson and be done with it.

JMV thinks it's going to be 1-4 QB, we stay put, and we get Levis

Rapoport basically said the same thing on McAffe's show today about staying at 4 because Ballard doesn't make those kind of moves. No balls.

Ballard needs to go get whoever Steichen wants. If that means trading up, so be it.

Give your new coach what he needs to succeed.

I heard Ballard say " whatever it takes." Now lets see if he means it

Exactly!

Sadly I view him as being a slick talker with a big mouth and a small set.

To say I dislike him is an understatement. Any dude with a real set would have walked off the job when the Saturday thing went down. NFL is filled with a ton of huge egos, this dude has to be viewed as a clown in the front offices across the NFL.

I like the cost of trading to #3 and getting, guaranteed, one of: Stroud, Richardson or Young rather than the cost of trading up to #1 if that is even possible.
