You’re making the same silly argument my BIL is to justify giving up a 1 for Waddle. Philly wanted a corner if they stayed at 6 they take Surtain so that means Denver no longer has Surtain there. They aren’t taking another wr after taking Juedy last year so you have Denver, Dallas, and NY who don’t want a wr at the very least you make a move with one of them if you’re that scared both Smith and Waddle will get taken in those 3 picks and you now you only give up a 3 like NothingIsOT is trying to explain to you. Maybe Waddle lights the league on fire but seeing Philly give up a 3 for Smith and Miami gave up a 1 for Waddle who IMO are a flip of the coin for whose better is something a fan can second guess.
All of this banks on assumptions that none of you know nor know who else would trade up before 12 if that’s how things were falling. I don’t overthink this stuff. At the end of the day, who’s on the roster? No one gives a shit on picks swapped. Everyone overvalues extra picks vs talent. the only thing I actually potentially question is trading out of 3 in the first place if you thought you wanted to get pitts. I do not at all question using the extra picks to move back into 6. Get your guy.
I gotta imagine they would do their research on his concussion issues before using a 1st rounder on him Didn’t have any problems at all at UM
Probably same here, both are relatively high risk high reward types Phillips is more of an athletic freak though and you draft physical attributes more than anything
Yea I'm not on board with this one...dude retired in college because of concussions and came back no?
I don't know man, two of the best line backers I've ever seen in my life was a white manlet and dude who looked like he did your taxes
Would have preferred Paye or Jenkins, but Phillips has upside. Hopefully they can bring him along slow as a situational rusher
Thinking alike tonight. Preferred Rousseau, think Phillips is a douche for obvious reasons, plus his backstory with the concussions was weird, but I’ll get over it. Right thought process going DE tho.
Dion Jordan is objectively one of the worst picks in draft history. This is nothing like that WE TOOK HIM IN THE TOP 3
I did sit here for the last 2 years that setting for safe is how you go 8-8 year after year. So I’m going to trust Flo to maximize these guys and make this a home run
This is where I’m at. Grier and Flores have earned the benefit of the doubt. So I say let’s trust em because they’ve been great this far
Phillips is a more complete than Rousseau by a lot, Paye idk Rousseau slipping is kinda evidence that the scouts think that too
Was just about to post this. Rousseau is raw and might have more upside long term but he's a lotto ticket
Didn’t want to pay the price to move up and get him And I understand it, still a RB at the end of the day. If they miss of Etienne and Williams I’ll be sad though
Wouldn’t be surprised if this is how it kinda ends up Doesn’t seem like our FO sees values in moving up or spending big on RBs
