I just noticed the Eagles traded their 4th and 2 5ths and not their 3rd to move up (guy who said 3rd messed up). That is actually a slight value in the traditional trade value but considered overpaying in the newer one. Honestly I prefer the old chart here. They both have their weaknesses but 2 spots in the middle 1st for a mid 4th and 2 later picks doesn't seem like a huge win for the team trading down. Yes they get essentially 3 picks at almost no risk but it's not a steep asking price. So with 2 day 2 picks I'm even more excited. Heck the Eagles may even consider trading up with a future 3rd or 4th or something. It's feeling to me like Jurgens and a CB.
I clicked the attachment and there were 2 pics. You must have selected a unicorn from SOMEWHERE also by accident. Also when you attach a file you need to remember to also insert it.
I should have stuck to my guns about Drake London being the top WR. Daniel Jeremiah constantly raving for the last two months about Ohio State's Garrett Wilson being the clear #1, got to me. lol!
That's just it, I didn't attach a file... The text was the only part of that post. When I posted there was a giant unicorn below my text. I went in and edited to remove it, but the file remained. Some weird shit.
No, that just makes the Falcons wrong... In this case, I personally think you were both wrong.. Chris Olave is the best WR in this draft. But, he is a lot different type of a receiver from London.
"Different type of receiver" is exactly why I think Atlanta targeted London. I think the Falcons were looking for the taller tree, probably because they've long had MAJOR issues converting in the red zone. London is almost 6' 4" plus leaping ability (basketball player) and wingspan.
Interesting excerpt on the Bills' move to get Elam. Beane says he moved up those two spots because the Bills only had one first-round grade left on their board. It helped that it was at a position everyone was talking about. “I’ve been hearing it loud and clear, we don’t have a corner,” said Beane, mentioning the media, his neighbors, and his kids. “We’ll all sleep good tonight.” When the cornerbacks started going early, Beane thought he might be looking at another position again, but the run stopped. Two CBs went in the first four picks, but it was a long wait for the third. When the Kansas CIty Chiefs traded up for Trent McDuffie at 21, that was the impetus to get Beane to move and the next-to-last first-round grade they had on their board. He claims they didn’t talk to anyone tonight until pick 20, so they apparently weren’t looking for a big trade up
To put this in context, the team's own radio announcer has referred to the red zone as the Bermuda Triangle. It really has been that bad.
Well either way. My original thought a couple months back, documented clearly on the Browns boards, was that Drake London will be the first WR taken. I f'd up and listened to the "experts"...
Bears fans just waiting to see whether we've got another Ryan Pace or Phil Emery on our hands. Or maybe a Jerry Angelo, if he drafts guys with serious injuries / can jump out of pools.
Don't blame it on the "experts". You ended up picking an Ohio State player - I'm sure that had nothing to do with your personal biases kicking in, consciously or otherwise...
I know this is late, don't care, it needs to be emphasised what a horrific trade down that was by the Vikings. Hell i read it this morning and i still cant believe it. That is legit one of the worst draft day trades i've ever seen. It would've been anyway if it was out of conference. The fact this was in division makes it unspeakably bad. I mean the fucking Lions got to trade up further in the 1st round than they did down in the 2nd haha! The fuck are you doing! Oooh but they got a compensatory pick level 3rd rounder, embarrassing!! And im not evem hating on the Vikes here cos i despise them least in the division. I enjoy the Lions being a joke, they have been my entire adult life, some things arent meant to change. Have to agree with RTTRUTH the only way on earth you make this trade is if you have pre-emptively decided you are trading down and this is the only game in town, and that is an unbelievably bad way to GM/roster build. I was higher on Rick Spielman than some...this is what the grass looks like on the other side.
lol! Uhm..yeah whatever. Thought that was implied in my original post. Some people just can't not be a dick. (That's you, just in case you missed it again.)
Definitely agree. At first i was trying to make some sense out of it, but now I see it as a huge flub. Could have been handled better by a chimp.
