I didn't illustrate your point. I was alluding to the fact that the Colts were picking 4th, that Stroud was going to be picked no lower than 2nd or 3rd, and that there was no indication that they were going to magically and necessarily be offered a fair deal to trade up for him. Don't speak for me and/or suppose anything other than what I wrote.

My point was that most people voted in that poll based on availability, and those of us who voted for Stroud likely did so without that restriction in mind. Did you not say that you voted for who you wanted and you didn't think Stroud would be there at 4? Funny, that's what your post says.

Yes, that's exactly what I said, which does not illustrate your point. You said that you wanted to trade up for Stroud, and I didn't say anything of the sort.

There is nothing "funny" about what I said.

This is the point it illustrates:

That makes it objective evidence that the votes reflect who people want "at 4", which allows people to make assumptions of which 3 players will be picked by that point. Most people would've assumed Stroud and Young to be gone at that point, and wouldn't have voted for them for that reason. It seems you may be the only one on the board who believed Stroud would be available at 4, because both C & O and I have said we did not take "at 4" into consideration and voted for who we wanted.
