Moving down


Recommended Posts

If anything I think we are talking about moving back into the first for the 5th. yr. option.  Florio and Simms just mentioned the Colts at 34 and the Raiders at 35 as teams that could do it.  They used Jacobs as an example of a player they could do it for if they thought he would fall out of the 1st as they like the idea of a 5th. yr. option for a RB.

Yes I think pats want Abrams !

 

Pats want Darnell Savage, unless someone gives them a trade to get to No.32 like teams did for Bridgewater and Lamar Jackson, to get the 5th year option for a QB to develop. He has been moving up and the rumor is that he may creep into the top of the 1st round.

I could see it happening (Colts moving up a couple from 34). A lot of teams move up to late 1st to get that fifth year option. 

 

That move would make a lot of sense if they think that Simmons might be available at 31. It would be critical to get a 5th year option with his injury just to cancel out the loss of a cheap rookie year.

 

I wouldn't want to give up anything except a 4th though... That might be enough for 3 slots if the Rams don't have a better offer.

    • Patience is a virtue.  They were banging on Fries right out of the gate.  Not all players will work out and all players do not develop the same.  We all know that.
    • I wonder what Gus's excuse is for playing 5 yards off man ON THE GOALINE.     I mean cmon....Like Lombardi said, it was a high school play.  
    • They are due for it. But the Ravens and Texans will also be in play.   It will be those Top 4 dogs in play for the SB from the AFC when it is all said and done - Chiefs, Bills, Ravens, Texans
    • That's because those are the only years I looked at to make the list.  I'm sure I'd find plenty of Patriot trades and FA pickups in the late 90s, too.   The reason I looked only at their dynasty years is because I was responding to the suggestion that dynasties have to be built from within.  And I just don't think that's the case.   In fact, I'd go farther to say there's no such thing as an NFL team that's been built entirely through the draft and UFDAs.  It may be the case that dynasties like the Brady-era Pats were less engaged in free agency and trades than other teams.  But to say that they stayed away from FA and trades just isn't correct.   That said, I do agree that it all starts with the franchise QB.  And I'd also agree that few franchise QBs have been acquired from elsewhere (at least for their prime).  There are some notable exceptions (Steve Young, Drew Brees, and Warren Moon come to mind).  But they're mostly drafted.
