I agree with you, but based on the fact that i've seen people on this board make better mocks than what we end up actually taking most every year I don't know that the actual football guys know much about football either.

This! Last few years, the guys I wanted turned out better than who Caldwell picked. I wanted Jefferson and Tampa’s tackle. I watched some college football, read some draft guides. I didn’t need to conduct interviews with coaches, attend the combine, etc. but I can draft the first round better than Caldwell and Gene Smith and Baalke. I’d bet on myself in Vegas. Rest of the draft, no, but first round I win most of the time because I go consensus and trust my eyes. Not trying to be cute or smartest guy in the room.

You're "scared" that the owner of a billion dollar business has an opinion about critical personnel decisions within his business?? 

I'd be more concerned if he didn't. 

That's what scores of posters here have said in recent years. 
"He doesn't care about winning" has been posted here a million times, and it's an inane premise. 
Of course he does, and of course he has an opinion on the #1 pick. 

Didn't 10% of his fanbase just carry out a months long campaign to convince him to fire his GM? 
Should he react to that by just letting that GM make a critical decision without oversight?

I bet Khan could draft the first round better than Baalke and Caldwell after picking the brains of a few NFL personnel guys. Most of us could. I hope he’s getting involved to break the tie between Pederson and Baalke in favor of Pederson, who he wants to succeed. He’s getting flak from NFL circles for Baalke, and he doesn’t want to be embarrassed again. That’s my “leak.”
