I’m not ticked we traded back, half expected it. But I’m shocked what little we got

 

It is not little, IMO. We got used to an obscenely one-sided trade with the Jets, and we got about 900 plus points on the trade value chart in return for our 700. Such trades do not happen too often in the NFL, the Jets kind that is.

Redskins have a tough schedule. They could go 3-13 which would make that 2nd Rd 2020 pick worth over 500 points + #46 is worth 440

You can't base a trade on what a team might do a year from now.  

 

Wow.  Such little value.

 

And it isn't even for this year.  So no help this year.

 

Wow.

We traded back twenty spots.... out of the first round, and back twenty spots. I’m a huge Ballard fan and trust him, but we lost the trade on this one. There wasn’t a diehard had to have player for me at 26th, so I’m cool with the trade, but it was light on the value

That is for sure not worth trading down.

 

Don't like it.  And before you call me a Ballard hater.....you just dropped 20 picks to get a second round pick a year from now.  THAT IS NOT GOOD VALUE.

 

Well, we’ll....   look who predictably showed up?   Like clock work.

 

And once again, you’re wrong.  At least you’re consistent.

 

It’s not good value.  It’s VERY good value!

If what they said is true, that players from mid-1st round to 3rd round are just a few notches apart, this ends up being a good trade for us, especially since the next year draft class is more loaded on the skill position side.

 

I'll trust this scouting staff Ballard has assembled to evaluate next year's class to make this trade.

Why would we take them at 26 when we added picks AND just pick them tomorrow... come on man

 

Pick who tomorrow? Sweat, Abram? Yeah they're gone. And whoever else of any actual value that disintegrates between our first pick. Bad value all around. A future 2nd isn't that valuable, not enough to entirely leave the first round. Sweat is a stud, Abram a stud. Whatever, hopefully he nails these picks.

We will pick a great player with that 2nd Rd pick next year

Maybe, we shall see. Ballard has a plan and has earned my trust so I’m good with it(like my opinion matters haha )

I don't know man. I think when you want back into the first, you're going to have to over pay. I would have at least wanted their 3rd this year too..

That's you're opinion.. not mine

 

Regardless of the health issues I wasn't that intrigued with Sweat and Abram I was meh on

A year from now we will know a little more on the value...it isn’t just a spot..there was real guys sitting there we just passed on...for theoretical players..who knows. Again...Ballard has earned some trust with last year but dang to move that far back...hope he didn’t get to smart for his own good.

I'm gonna keep doing what I've been doing and see what happens before I say Ballard made a bad decision.

I don’t think it was a bad decision, I actually think the trade notion was good. Just would have liked to see more value for trading back.

    • Look at those feet!!! Beautifully lined up!
    • I doubt it.   Photography can be misleading.      For the record, AR was 234 in college.  Showed up at the combine at 244.  Then at one point with the Colts said he was in the low 250’s.  But it’s not clear if he stayed at that weight or lost some of it.    So do you think he’s in the 250’s now?   Heavier?   Honestly, the team typically updates the roster in mid-June.   So I’m reluctant to believe anything until the website gets updated.  Again, a camera angle can make a person look taller or shorter, heavier or lighter.  Just saying.    NOTE:   FWIW:  just checked.  This website currently lists AR at 244. 
    • Ah, that is good to know. Thanks.
    • When AR got injured, I strongly felt it was partially due to injury he had to his shoulder in college and that it wasn't rehabbed correctly. I am happy he got the surgery and has taken the time with the top medical advisors to rehab his arm. It should be back to where it was if not stronger. Given his age, I rather this happen now than in the future when his body is a bit more beat up.   I think he's going to have a big season this year. Going to have his growing pains obviously but is definitely going to surprise some people with his accuracy and pocket awareness (very natural feel/navigation from what we saw). Pair that up with some Steichen magic and this team is primed for some competitive play against anyone in the league.   Zaire was recently on Chris Long's podcast and the topic of CJ Stroud came up. Zaire said that he was frustrated about some of the stuff Stroud was talking on radio row at the Superbowl. CJ apparently said that he carved the Colts up both times. Zaire had to remind him that A) he hasn't beaten Anthony and B) the first game when Anthony played the Colts were up like 28-7 in the 2nd quarter and playing nearly full prevent defense. It was nice to see the fire from Zaire about both AR and against CJ.
