Oh I'm not being mean.
I've just made this same joke for the last 3-4 years now.
I just wait until the first "I'd be fine with us taking him in the 1st round" post for a guy that's going to end up in the 3rd or 4th round and know that draft season has arrived. It's usually around late February.
I should just call it the Oruwariye Rule.
Because we had a vocal group of dudes that spent 2-3 weeks talking themselves into him in the 1st round. Dude went in the 5th.
It's a tradition unlike any other...
Though lets be completely fair here - you're walking it back a little. This: "My point on Ersery is that I can see Andy really liking him as a prospect and thus pulling the trigger if he's there. Thats all. And if they did it, I'd accept it." is a fair bit different from this: "I think if he's there at 31 you turn in the card and you really don't think twice."
The former is acceptance. The latter is endorsement.
