I'm not a guy who overly relies on "trade value charts", but by any of them, he got way too much in return for you to move 5 whole spots. https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=c712...Y29tL25mbC10cmFkZS12YWx1ZS1jaGFydC5hc3A&ntb=1
In all honesty, I am not super deep into prospects this year. I liked my guy and was worried edges were gonna go quickly. I appreciate it.
I was anticipating a run on them too. Figured it was now-or-never to get one for the Titans with that pick.
The upcoming Titans pick sort of fits into this description. Plan A got shot down in flames. Plan B is to draft something else and move a 'tweener guy already on the roster from the Plan B position to the Plan A position.
He had 2 offers. One with quantity but meh and that one. I just took it. Instead of negotiating. It wasn't super nuts but ya I won't deny it was pretty sweet.
Yeah I know it's not always super simple. Just some insight into my personal process. Like by those charts you lost 60 points. Losing 10-20 certainly not earth shattering. Especially if you're the guy moving up. The guy moving back should rarely be the one losing value. And not everyone follows these charts exactly. So in your scenario, I would either try and get him to take 5.3 (assuming you have it) instead of 4.3. That might immediately make it even. Or at the least I'd try to get a late pick swap to feel better about the deal. Maybe you throw in a pick swap of his 5th for your 6th, or something along those lines. Even if you still lose 30, it beats losing 60. At that point it's clearly lopsided. Though sometimes, there is that scenario where a very specific player is worth simply making sure you get it done. For the value, I think best current examples would have been Kelee Ringo or Anton Harrison. They were both screaming values when finally snagged. Maybe Trenton Simpson too.
New Orleans selects Isaiah Foskey, EDGE, Notre Dame Tennessee selects Tucker Kraft, TE, South Dakota State
Rationale for New Orleans is simple... New Orleans needs to restock on defense. Foskey is a good prospect. We're having a run on edge guys. Rationale for Tennessee is more complicated... they could really use a big body WR. But I don't like the value of the potential picks at this point of the draft. Last year Tennessee drafted TE Chigoziem Okonkwo, but he's one of those guys who is really more of a big-body WR than a true TE. So rather than making Okonkwo keep trying to get better at blocking, take advantage of his size/speed combo and just let him run pass routes. Get somebody else to play the in-line TE role. Tucker Kraft can catch a pass every now and then as needed, but he's not going to stretch a defense by any means and needs work as a receiver. But he's a human wrecking ball as a blocker. Presto... he's the old school mauler at tight end, and my man Charles London (the new assistant OC) can focus on using Okonkwo as an offensive weapon.
If I was st my computer or at home with time, I'd absolutely follow more closely to that. I'm at my second job dishwashing before it gets busy. I figured offering what I did was an overpay but it got the job done. Plus...it's a very Arizona move.
This could be the kind of accuracy that makes the overpay eyebrow raise more of a "well, yeah, that does make some sense...".
That's fair. I've definitely had years where my plan was to trade back, but work issues wouldn't allow me to even make an effort. I'm lucky to get in and make a pick without holding things up more than 20 minutes. Sometimes that definitely plays into it.
In all honesty, trading for vetears would help me clear my picks and open up time as to not hold up the draft later. Lol
Well the other thing to remember is a lot of guys here are helpful. Like if you have a shift starting at 6 let's just say, you can PM me a top 3 list for your upcoming pick later that evening. And I will simply follow orders for you. I know there's a little added fun in making your own selection. It's just an option that let's you not get sidetracked from other obligations and also keeps this moving. Just putting that reminder out there for all.
