But I do think I am qualified to be confused. And I now exercise my prerogative to wonder what the heck this was all about.


Well, we have 10 more picks - 91% of the draft remains. I have total faith many of those 10 picks will make much more sense, and we're coming out of this weekend with a much stronger team than we ended the season with. Even if it doesn't look tonight the way most of us hoped or expected.
I wouldn't read too much into other than the usual. Brian's board can vary significantly from the consensus big board.
