So you're saying it's not a problem if our board is way out of skew with the rest of the GMs, if we have a guy that everyone else deems a second round pick graded above what everyone else thinks is a second round guy?

In other words, you are totally cool if we take Max Melton at 17, and leave Byron Murphy on the board, so long as Baalke shows you his board had Melton at 14 and Murphy at 20? Think about that.

And yeah, other teams can have guys ranked differently. Some teams may take Sweat completely off the board after his recent arrest. Others may knock him down a few pegs, others might not give a flip. But in the hypothetical presented, the condition was already stated where the consensus stood with respect to player ranks. In the hypothetical, we DO know the other teams' boards. So again, Melton over Murphy at 17...reach? Does it really change your answer if some dumbbell GM in Denver is the outlier who also thinks Melton is a top 15 pick, but he's the only other GM who does?

  I definitely wouldn't like it because he's not to me but if Melton ends up better than all of the players picked after him it was the right pick.  We have no clue how other GMs are ranking there board.  If Melton is the highest guy on our board than it's not a reach, he just better be the best player, if not the board is the problem.
