2020- Wirfs/Wills and then Jefferson
2019- Josh Allen
2018- Goedert or Hernandez

That’s just the last few years of players that the majority wanted if I remember. Now obviously there would be some misses from the board but I think overall, the board smashes Caldwell/Gene/Shack.

Scouts and GMs don’t hold that much more info than some people who work 9-5s. The amount of tape and data available is so much more abundant to the average/above average fan now as compared to the 80s and 90s.

It's sad that we are having this discussion.  It's sad that you could credibly make this claim.

2020-You hit the nail on the head.  Most-or at least a significant number-on this board wanted Wirfs or Wills and Jefferson.

2019-I don't know that I can agree with you here.  Not because  posters didn't have a high opinion of Allen.  To the contrary.  But virtually NOBODY thought Allen would be there for us at 7, that's why a good number of people did not advocate for him.

2018-This is fact.  Goedert andd Hernandez were popular choices.  I don't know that anyone had Bryan on their radar.

The only strong basis of disagreement here is your final statement.  Fans don't have access to the coaches or trainers.  Fans don't have access to the medical reports.  Heck, there are players that don't make the various big boards that teams scout and fans never see or hear about (Q. Williams).  But the truly sad part is despite that information disparity, it doesn't translate into better picks than fans in some instances.
