For the record I would be perfectly happy with a Tij selection (less so if we skipped on a Lindstrom or Parekh type tog etc.him), but I just have a feeling that management will remain objective on the pick and go with BPA. If someone falls to them, I think they go with whoever that is if they like them enough. Just a hunch, but I would imagine they're working with the mandate of objectivity because the sentimentality will certainly not need to be discussed to much degree within their draft room. I would, however, guess that conversations with Conroy and upper management might be a bit different, but I still think we go BPA.
