CHAD FORD ON BOARD

FO saying they traded the pick around 22-23 and didn’t think Butler would be there at 30 and were regretting that when he was there at 30. Color me unconvinced.

That would be a dumb move - most trades are always conditional or otherwise we might be selling low.

Yeah, I don’t buy it. I’ve never heard of it being done that way.

Chad Ford was caught editing his previous years' draft boards and mock drafts while he was with the ESPN to better reflect how the players turned out rather than what he thought at the time he was posting them. I can't be 100% sure about that but it's probably why he's been out of mainstream media for the last 5-6 years. Seems like he's trying to make a come back through Locke's podcast network. I've been seeing him more and more on various more prominent podcasts as a guest during this years' draft season.

I believe they traded the pick with Butler on board, and there are a handful of PR reasons to spin it that you hadn’t traded it knowing he was on board.

The question is why Chad Ford is doing their bidding... but I can also crack that pretty quick.

I think it's more he just got replaced. He use to be the top guy before DraftExpress changed the game. I dont think Ford was willing to work that hard and he just retired in Hawaii. Now he's coming back, but I think he mostly just home scouts now. He's not flying everywhere watching games and talking to people unless he's friends with them.
