2016 NFL Draft Thread

[dgambill]

Well we lost our 6th so we needed that extra pick...probably a rb there in the 4th.

Wow!  Grigs must have someone in mind he thinks will be there. 

 

Su'a Cravens???

[Jact.stark]

Jason Springgs. Well we can still land Billings later

Yes

I hate the value of that trade!!!

[MarquisJ]

4th and 7th ehh

[COLTS449]

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???

[backshoulderfade]

Grigs probably didn't like the pass rushers on the board. Probably wanted one of the guys who went earlier.

[dudley dawson]

Grigson is just going to blow the extra picks #firegrigson

[NewColtsFan]

 

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.

Got 57th pick, a 4th and a 7th

Not that good!

[Superman]

Now, assuming Reed is gone (who is my favorite available), I think #57 makes sense for Whitehair or Day.

[Moncrief]

Ahhhhh the wait. Billings, Alexander, Whitehair amongst others still on

Getting a 3rd? Cowbiys moved down 13 spots in the firat and all they got was a 3rd..this is in the 2nd round 

[krunk]

I'm glad Grigs saw we needed more picks! He'll probably do it again at some other point

I'm not a big fan of his style, but I must admit he's much faster and much more explosive than I expected. He ran away from a lot of defenses last year, and he was awesome in workouts. With his size, he'll be a battering ram. But he might also be a bust.

 

My problem is he gets tackled for a loss too often with his size. In college, with big holes from a dominant line, if he had an alley he was gone. On Sundays he won't have those holes and won't be faster enough. IMO

[dgambill]

Some really nice DTs there would have been nice. Grigson missed out on his pass rushers and decided to move back. Got value. Also when he takes a wr now with one of those picks he gets a pass right? Lol

[ColtsBTM12]

I hope the trade pays off

We got the 57th pick...moved back 9 slots.  And gained a 4th and a 7th.  That's pretty good actually.

There are still a lot of good players available.  With this trade, we can still get a very good talent, and we add a couple more picks to our collection.  Regardless of what the trade pick chart (which is highly arbitrary and subjective) says, if you can still get the guy you want and and more picks, it's a good trade for you

Yeah, it is like someone dropped the calculator or something.

 

Packers had 2 more 4th round compensatory selections, we could have swapped our 5th for another 4th.

Yes ideally I would have liked a 3rd also, but getting a 4th and 7th back is not horrible. Hopefully Grigs has a few players in mind that have good value on defense for that pick via the trade down.

[COLTS449]

Another dumb Grigson move. 90% of other GM's would have gotten a 3rd. WOW. total nonsense man. Hell take Calhoun at 57 and hope Westerman's there in the 3rd.

[rock8591]

Horrible trade. 4th rounder was pretty much a compensatory pick.

[OffensivelyPC]

Eh, people need to get over this draft trade chart..perhaps thats not realistic?

[Zazeeqo]

Horrific trade. Could of had a real difference maker at 48.

[Jact.stark]

Well the Bears didn't got a 7th lol, i think the SEA a are gonna get an OG

The DTs that went were not really what we need to spend in the second round.  They are too much like Jones, Kerr, and Langford.  Bilings provides something different, IMO

[Stephen]

arrrg was ready for us to pick

We got 57, a 4th, and the 7th. You're missing one of those. Not sure which you're referring to with "Green Bay's pick".

[chad72]

Seahawks probably moving up for Cody Whitehair

[wig]

I love how everyone says we should trade back and when Grigs done it's dumb, terrible value, etc (the value was good).

Comp picks aren't tradeable until next year.

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.

If you google "NFL draft pick value chart", you get like 5 different charts in the results.  I think the chart is very arbitrary and subjective.

[Gavin]

I would have waited till the 3rd round to start trying to trade down

[Superman]

I don't think it's realistic on draft day, in later rounds. And in any event, it's a guideline, not a fixed formula. Oh well. Getting an extra fourth rounder sounds good to me, and the board wasn't looking that great. I'd have taken Reed, but oh well.

I hope there is a future 4th or 5th thrown in.
