Would y’all take a trade from the Broncos if they wanted to move up to draft a guy like Drew Lock. Let’s say both their 2nd rounders this year. Don’t know if they points match up but if they really want their guy, doesn’t matter.
I'd be for it. Don't have to be this year's picks either. Future picks would be cool. I think the phinns could also be a trade partner AND their future picks could be gold.

Old news and not important at that.

and not acquiring additional picks for this draft saves Irsay money, right?
How much more money will we have now to resign our own?
-
Brilliant!
We only traded down 20 spots and didn't acquire any additional picks for this draft.
Hoping we trade down some more and acquire some Day 3 picks for the 2021 & 2022 Drafts.

That's usually a big jump from a small school to the nfl especially on a early round pick.....ala Bashaam.
-
The Eagles are seemingly more active in trades and FA signings to help supplement roster talent.

What I think they are saying is because the number of blue chippers is small, you could have a guy rated as a late 2nd rounder taken at the end of the 1st round because there is only a few notches of difference in talent level. Thus, mocks based on where someone is rated at end of 2nd round or end of 3rd round can be thrown off when they are drafted at the end of the 1st round or top of 2nd round.
What is about the average amount of 'blue chippers' in a draft?
-
Reading between the lines I think it could mean we trade up OR maybe we trade down OR maybe we stay put at 26?

They have the best coach the NFL has EVER seen
They have the best QB the NFL has EVER seen (With the offense that they run)
I hate them, because they stopped Peyton from winning 3-4 SBs, but you have to give them credit
They get the absolute best out of players that typically dont star in other surroundings
They have some Voodoo going on
Time for Beliceck and Brady to retire.....
It's Not Voodoo.....its Cheating lol.

Not necessarily at 26 or 34, but what you guys think of Ridley from Georgia?
I remember seeing a few Georgia games and he looked good.

You have to combine that with the fact that the Patriots who never drafted a WR in Round 1 and only a couple of RBs in round 1 so far, and win so many SBs with front 7 defensive, OL trenches and secondary draft picks.
Building a team inside out is still the primary formula with augmentation of skill players when that becomes a weakness.
Reliance on Peyton's arm too much did us in most times come playoff time. When we relied on OL more and had balance, we won it all. That tells you something.
Talking about the patriots success to me is aways skewed because of all the cheating. Moat people agree that their roster is not hifhly talented.
Even their D is often suspect if anyone wants to remember the Falcons and Eagles lit them up.
Most of Peyton's lack of success in playoffs were to blame on the offense. Our D played ok in most of the losses and during our SB run played well vs KC, Baltimore and Chicago.

I wouldn't mind it. But then I supported the Dorsett pick and questioned taking a C, FS, and a G with mid first round picks. I think many would explode if Ballard doesn't get at least one trench player out of picks 26 or 34.
I think many on this forum still have Peyton Flashback....meanning he only won 1 SB so lets blame the Defense for that AND NOW we must draft only defensive players high.
-
What does the number of Blue Chippers have to do with the mocks being way off?
There are only a number of blue chippers in any draft, not a entire first round full.
Right?

In another thread, we are supposedly looking at WR at 34.
So if Ballard drafts Josh Jacobs at 26 and AJBrown at 34, would the forum explode?
I don't know if the Forum explodes or not but the important thing is if were to get 2 highly talented playmakers, especially on offense we could possibly matchup better vs high powered teams.
Our O was badly exposed vs KC.

Why did he fall to the 6th if he was that good?
A Failed drug test and a dip in production in his senior year.

Great interview and I can't wait to see Cain in action when he's fully recovered and ready to play. Our draft class was great, but if he were healthy, I imagine it would have been even better.
I know that nothing is certain, but with his attitude and work ethic, he'll be successful. The fact that he was heavily involved in meetings, watching practice, etc. shows his dedication and desire to be the best he can be.

I love the kid.
I had him mocked in the 3rd. So lucky he was still there in the 6th.

Smith gets kicked inside and Glowinski could find himself getting traded.
Really?
If you payed attention to what ballard preaches he says he wants 2 Deep across the Lines.
Even though Glowinski makes starter money he would give us that quality backup that ballard preaches.

So Ballard wasn't eating Cheetos watching YouTube in his office during the start of FA like some made it seem?
Madness....
Cheetos is a Name Brand. More likely munching on a dollar store brand.
Sorry, that was too easy and couldn't help myself. Lol.

Sometimes I think to many people get to caught up in the trendy pics the media wants to flood airtime too, I for one could not believe at the time, we passed over Williams for James. We always seem to go with our gut, and beliefs, for what is the best for our team and it usually works out. That's why I'm not getting stuck on certain players and just enjoy how it ends up playing out.
Yeah, I remember. My cuz and I were talking on the phone during that draft and I told him looks like there's a legitimate chance Ricky falls to us. We were SO EXCITED and HOPEFUL that it would happen.......we were then so DISAPPOINTED when it didn't. Lol.
But Edge turned out excellent.

And what a breath of fresh air it's been!
This is what the offseason is supposed to be like.
Here's to many more like it under Chris Ballard!
Actually, I think some Fans would hope for a team that needs improving to take the next step would maybe like a bit more busier offseason.

We had the 6th ranked rusher. In a perfect world, all positions need an upgrade. I would consider the RB position to be one that is solid, while other positions get upgraded first.
6th? .... I thought we were ranked like 20th?

The tape is worth watching
The guy is a roadgrader as a blocker
He dominated DL players....... Not just a little DB.....
He is so tough to defend.... think about it
Because he will be a blocker 50-60% of the time.......... do you assign a LB to him? He will eat his lunch.
If a SS is assigned to him..... and he actually blocks..... the SS is WASTED for that play.... someone else is will be open
He will be inline and parked next to the tackle. Its SO MUCH easier to disguise your play intention, when you have an excellent blocker AND reciever........... IN ONE PLAYER
This guy will be deadly
I dont expect to get him, but watch his career...... he will be special
Sounds like the type of player it's worth to move up to get.

Huh? How is that "starting it"? He is just doing what AB was doing while he was still a Steeler.
Remember when Ben threw AB under the bus, but AB publicly praised Ben in response? How is praising your QB "out of the blue"?
I think you (and AB) are just reaching so you can scratch your "drama" itch...
Like most you seem not to like AB because he seems to be a Diva and a self centered trouble maker.... Maybe he is.
But with all the turmoil this past year in Pittsburgh with AB, Bell, Rothlisberger, the HC and missing the playoffs(which is rare for the Steelers) don't you think Ju Ju should have kept quiet and refrain from stirring the pot?
After him showing love to his QB, whether it was genuine or just a shot at AB of course AB was going to think it was a shot at him.
Like the radio guys said just play your game and keep your mouth shut and wait for when it's time for his contract to come up. The Steelers don't need Ju Ju or anyone else on the team to create more controversy.

I believe their entire starting defense is completely home-grown.
And most of their offense too, except for WR, which was their biggest need at the beginning of last season.
They aren't "buying" anything. Whatever they win, it will be because they drafted and re-signed their own players, like Ballard is preaching.
I was being SARCASTIC.
Of course it's a good thing when a organization is willing to spend some of it's resources to try and win a SB.
Most on this board laughed at Jerry for trading away a #1 pick for Cooper. I didn't. I applauded the move. Why wait until the 2019 draft to use your #1 pick on drafting a rookie WR when you can spend it on a proven one in the middle of season and he can help you win immediately and in future....which he did.
Signing or Resigning a playmaking pass rusher is a no brainer. Atleast not for teams that are trying to win now.

Possible 2nd Round Trade Down
in Colts Football
Posted
How far in the future can you trade picks?
