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 am with you on Reed...but we all thought he was a top 20 guy...look how far he's fallen...we're either missing something or the dynamics of the draft have been altered because of the stacked defensive line prospects...It's been a really odd draft, that's for sure.

[CR91]

still bell billings and alexander on the board. heres hoping one of them falls to us

[21isSuperman]

Jets take Hack.  They must really not like Geno

Surprised we wasn't all over Reed. He could and probably should have been a first rounder.

 

Based on what that 31 GMs didn't see, most of them twice?

 

 

Hack!  Poor Jets.

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

I wouldn't limit it to that, but tha'ts at least a good rule of thumb when you don't know what else you're looking for.

Reed has some agility but at the end of the day I think he is a 2 down player who I would not have touched till day 3. Way to early to draft him for me

The DTs taken thus far in round 2 are really not much different than what we already have.

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

You don't trade down if someone you want is on the board.

[BOTT]

Jets may have gotten a steal

[ScissorMeTimbers]

I will consider going to church if Billings falls to the Colts and we take him. YOU HEAR ME GOD?! lol

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

Well, that's part of being a good front office - stack up on the best commodity in football - cheap rookie contracts(draft picks). It gives you maneuverability and it gives you the chance to take swings on multiple prospects.

I hear you, no need to yell.

You don't want something that could benefit the team because you have to wait another 30 minutes for them to pick? 

[Jact.stark]

Fuller and Alexander both can fall.

Ummm, yes they do.  If they think they can get them at a later time and get some extra picks.  Ex. Bob Sanders.

Yes yyou do, if you think you can still get them where you traded down to. It's a little something called maximizing value. 

[DougDew]

There are more than 6 good players left

[Nobody]

The Falcons' pick has been in for about 15 minutes, are you kidding me with this slow pace

[MrNLM]

I had this crazy idea in my head that Whitehair and Billings would be gone so the Colts end up taking Nick Martin to play Gaurd/backup Center. Texans must have thought the same thing... not mad though. The forum would have gone ballistic!

None of the DTs taken yet in rnd 2 are really not much different than what we already have.

I'd take Day or Ridgeway here if we go DT/ Both are disruptive rotational D Linemen. Im also still looking at Calhoun and Fackrell

[21isSuperman]

Top ranked players from NFL.com:

Cody Whitehair

Jordan Howard

Jonathan Bullard

Hassan Ridgeway

Andrew Billings

[Zazeeqo]

Billings, Alexander, Fuller, Day, Whitehair. Quality players available

[stitches]

We will pick Yannick Ngakoue ... just wait and see....

[CR91]

[Nobody]

Took long enough

nope draft is over after those 6. Pack it up....we have to fill out our team with CFL guys now lol. I'm really intrigued with Alexander. He has some attitude and swag....kinda like our CB we took last year. Might need a year but could put together a nice young core back there.

There goes Cravens

[NewColtsFan]

 

I don't care that we traded back if we weren't wild about what we'd get....

 

What I care about is that we didn't come remotely close to getting value.

 

We lost 90 points and got back 48.        Not even close to a good trade.

 

We must have really, REALLY wanted that extra 4.    (Sigh....)

[Boiler_Colt]

I forgot abut Ngakoue. I'm not a big Vonn Bell guy. Darian Thompson maybe? I'd rather get him in the third but who knows.

it's the typical Grigson pick... trade down and then reach for a small school player.

[backshoulderfade]
