This is not a mock, I am not advocating one pick over another, I simply have an opinion of how, or close to how, this draft is going to work.
I think we draft QB, whether Chan, Buddy, or anybody else likes it or not. I think we are going to reach. I just hope that the best of the QB's is still on the board at 3.
Remember when Ralph said that we were going to draft a QB after the season? I have a feeling that he has had his mind made up, and that there is little to nothing, including the QB's available vs. the other talent, that will stop him.
I think Ralph was responsible for Kelsay. I also believe that we reached for Whitner because of Ralph. I have read from a poster on a board that is comparable to our own BlameCanada that Ralph had ties to several Big 10 schools, most notably, OSU and PSU. I came away with the impression that Ralph received a "hot tip" on Whitner, and forced his hand in taking him.
I am not a conspiracy theorist, and I don't blame Ralph for every single misfortune in the past 150 years. I don't think Ralph is cheap. I don't necessarily agree with all of his decisions, but I respect the man.
What I am saying is that for all of the draftniks, or the Fitzy Fan Club, putting myself in the latter, if there isn't a QB you think we "have to have" at 3, too bad. I bet Ralph pulls rank, and we get a QB, because that's what he said we were going to do.
Picking #3, this could actually end up working out, if there is a QB worth taking, because I do believe that Nix will be the one Ralph leans on for his pick. It would also be nice if Ralph would trust Chan to developing the QB the right way, and not, again, pull rank and demand his shiny new toy becomes the starter immediately.
I know it's not much, and until this second, I haven't even talked about Luck, but I feel this is a very realistic possibility.
I could be way off, and that would be just fine with me.
