That really surprises me. I know Ballard is good and all and a very hard worker, but it just seems odd that he actually gets the attention that he deserves from the draft specialists. I guess the ridiculous number of TDs caught their eye. 25 TDs in 18 games is pretty amazing, especially with the recent drought. I don't know about 2nd round because RBs just are not as valuable in the draft as they once were. It seems like they get one or two in the first round, that would be Richardson and Lattimore, then they are picked up sparingly. Wasn't Anthony Dixon about the 6th or 7th or so RB taken and in the 6th round?
I really hope Todd Mcshay is right.
