So a guy that the board (that he had massive input into) has rated as the 7th best prospect wouldn't start over a 7th rounder who is over 30 and coming off injury plagued years.


That my friend sounds like massive spin to me.

Maybe I am wrong, but we will just have to see how they play this year to prove it to me.

That or they rather accumulate more picks and go elsewhere since they have a very similar player in Ratliff. Maybe I am wrong to say he wouldn't start. But a heathy Ratliff is a damn good player.

A 28 year old healthy Ratliff was a very good player. A pro-bowl type.

If they weren't going to draft him -- why did they put him on the board there though? I just don't understand their drafting philosophy.

Good question. It would be very interesting to see their actual board, instead of their interviews and hint and rumors about it. That way you could see how all the rounds would play out with hypotheticals.
