we give up 420 points

we get

57 - 330

125 - 47

248 - no value(like 1)

------378

 

we just lost 42 points.... that's a 4th-5th rounder value.

 

Maybe we made the call to trade down and that was the best offer.

If we'd had any sense we would've traded up to the top 10 of the 2nd for Spence. Wait and see what I say. He's going to be a star

At some point we have to stop trading away picks. I was on board the Spence train with you, but it's left the station. I didn't want to trade up at all in this draft.

With the trade down,  the Colts lost 90 points.

 

And we don't come close to getting it back.    Green Bay's pick is worth roughly 45 points.   And a 7th is worth maybe 2 points.

 

I confess,   I'm stunned.      We didn't come close to getting market value for a 9 spot trade down.

 

Not.       Even.        Close.              Complete head scratcher.

 

I understand what your saying....but we play with football players...not draft points. We just got two extra camp guys to fight for a position and could possibly make this team better. Value charts aren't some static thing....it's ever evolving and today with the guys still available those 9 spots aren't worth as much. Loved to have gotten more but I imagine this was good enough value in this draft.

You'll see why I wanted us to trade up for him when he's putting up 10-12 sacks every season.

IGNORANT TRADE!!!!! We moved down 9 spots for a 4th and a 7th? Not a 3rd????? DUMB. We should have gotten a 3rd. Now will Billings, Whitehair, Alexander, Calhoun, Fackrell, Reed, etc be there???

We will just have to see how it pans out.  An extra 3rd without the 7th would have been nicer.  I'm not too enthused about the extra 7th.  Those are basically throw away picks for the most part.

I would only trade up for a QB or an elite pass rusher.

That's what's the difference between good and bad front offices - the good ones trade up to get Jarran Reed, the bad ones get bad value for trading away from the possibility of taking Jarran Reed. I'm * now!

 

Nonsense.

 

Quit bellyaching.

Not really. It's the difference between a team with 6 picks and a team with 12.

The trade down says a lot. Doesn't want Whitehair, so Grigson thinks the OL line has enough with Kelly.  Didn't want Jarran Reed or Billings, so he is satisfied with Parry. Didn't want Alexander; maybe a safety? OLB?

 

You do realize all those guys except Reed are still on the board, right?

Trade chart makes mo sense out of context... It only works if it is updated each draft to fit specific trends and position groups... Even then, it would only be a rough gauge of what the values really represent...

 

I like the trade assuming we get a good haul with the picks... and pick Michael Jordan in the 7th...

      Would you be ok with this move?

      By ProblChld32 · Posted

      As it stands the Eagles are pretty loaded with CBs at the moment after picking up Rodgers then drafting both Quinyon and Cooper in the draft. There have been rumblings of them potentially preparing to move Bradberry. They are currently in need of another WR, so the question I pose is would you be ok with trading Alec to Philly in exchange for Bradberry? Or do you think they should let the current CBs on the roster battle it out? Keep in mind Bradberry is approaching 31 years of age.

      Wide Receivers are getting paid!

      By NFLfan · Posted

      Exactly. I wanted the Vikes to trade Jefferson. I think being careful not to overpay is important in football. I guess that is why I like Ballard. He does not jump and pay the shiniest free agent all this money. He believes in rewarding his own players.   The only reason I would pay Jefferson is because he has been in our organization and we know him. I prefer paying players who have been with the team and have been good players and good citizens (stays out of trouble, are team players, etc.)

      It is but as the guys reporting this said Pierce was the only one of the top four WRs working with special teams and not something he’s done in the past.  Like I said it’s early indication,  it can clearly change.

      Tatum is a great player but Doncic is better. Both teams basically will have a week off and should come in healthy so there really can't be any excuses for the losing team. Unless a key player gets injured during the series. I still like Dallas in 6. If I am wrong I will be here and tip my cap to you, and say I was wrong.   Regarding football, if you look my top 5 QBs of all-time, I have Brady #1 and I am a diehard Colts fan. I have Brady 1, Montana 2, Peyton 3, Mahomes 4, Unitas 5. The League MVP is the 2nd best thing a QB can win, only winning the Championship is better. So I put a lot of weight on League MVPs. Peyton is top 5 at worse just because of that alone combined with winning 2 Championships. At the end of the year, if a QB doesn't win the Championship, but wins League MVP, most say, he still at least won MVP and was the best player the whole regular season.
