And your point about draft boards is correct. I don't think many teams are ranking players 1-300 or whatever. That's extremely old school. I think smart teams are putting players into tiers and using a multitude of resources instead of just your old school rankings.

It's literally never as easy as taking the top player on your board and you've even said as much. If the Jags take Harris at 25 and then Etienne is the top player on their board at 33, you want Etienne? It's not going to happen. Be fluid on draft day and take value when it's clear.

I think he is saying Urban will trust his staff/scouts and make the pick based on their recommendation.
Sure.

But if there is a disagreement about who they should select, Urban will do what HE wants. If Urban wants one guy and everyone else wants another one, he is going to select his guy.

That's just a guess but Urban was hired to be the decision maker here and I don't think he's going to sway much on who he wants.
