Mac and Justin Fields are both examples of a team mis-managing a resource. Both would probably have been much more successful with a team going in the right direction - e.g., a Minnesota.

Our first pick has to be, and will be, a QB. It would be ridiculous to own the #3 pick, be QB needy in a class of 6 legit candidates that could all go in round 1, and not take one of them. The decision isn't whether to take a QB with our first pick, it's whether to trade it down to 4-5-6-11-13...

I think he's gonna help this year. With his experience, versatility and athleticism he could be more valuable in 2024 than almost anyone we might draft.

It could be more the case that they're neutral among say 3 different guys - would be happy with any of the 3. Which is usually the reason behind any trade-down. If there's a guy available at your pick who's the best on your board, and in your area of need, you pick him. If there's several that...

An extra 2nd or high 3rd in this years draft would make such a difference.

If he's speaking the truth, it's saying that Penix or Nix are on the same level as Maye-Daniels-McCarthy. But at this point, GM's rarely speak the truth.

If these kind of agreements exist at all, they're gentlemen's agreements, not written. If Pitt called BB last year about moving up from 17 to 14, and BB said OK as long as you're not gonna take a CB, and the Pitt GM said OK to that, then he's not gonna turn around 5 minutes later and take a CB...

I wonder when we traded down last year from 14 to 17 if we asked Pitt who they were going to pick at 14, or said we'll only make this trade IF you're not taking a CB? Do the GM's trust each other enough to do this kind of thing?

AZ moving to 3 guarantees them Harrison, blocking any other team like LAC or the Giants from jumping them.

The benefit to AZ is it protects them from losing Harrison to the Chargers, who could make a deal with us and jump AZ - a very real possibility if Harrison is rated that high. They get this insurance at a low cost. AZ is loaded with draft capital, with two 1sts, a 2nd, and three 3rd's. They're...

For example, could we trade the 3rd pick to AZ at 4, but with the stipulation that they can't trade the pick and that they can't pick a QB. Has anyone ever heard of something like that happening in the past? And in exchange for limiting their options, we give them a cheap price for moving up...

Found this info about all the physical evidence they had. The trial became about trusting police and prosecutors, the implication being that all this evidence was somehow fabricated. Here are five other pieces of evidence introduced at trial: 1. Blood drops: Blood drops were found on a gate at...

you missed my point, which was to trade down but still pick a QB with our first pick, which could be 11 for example. I think trying to draft a QB late in the 1st or 2nd is too risky.

The only alternative I like to picking a QB at 3 is to pick a QB at 4, 5, or 11. The idea of picking a non-QB with our first pick is crazy. I haven't got a good read on Nix, but I'd be comfortable forgoing Maye or Daniels at 3 if we can land Penix or McCarthy at a lower spot and improve our...

It certainly appears that Williams and Daniels are going 1-2, and I think the chances of the Pats trading up are about nil. So the question becomes: is Maye special enough, different enough, from McCarthy or Penix to pass up the extra picks we should be able to get from a small move-down? e.g...
