Mr. Scot

Getting closer...

Fair, but the guy who drafted him didn't really seem to love him that much.

No shock here...

They were gonna get those picks anyway. We got something we wouldn't have had, so...

Nein

Lombardi can be kinda hit or miss. He famously spent the better part of a season predicting we were firing our head coach (Fox or Rivera one, forget which) when no one else was saying it or even hinting at it. Granted it could be true, but I'd like some corroboration on this one.

Not so sure of that either. Hopefully not since desperate men do stupid things. So far this offseason though, Tepper's been smart enough to trust his football people when it comes to the decision making. I'd expect that to continue.

They are. Don't judge the media by what our young friend says. He has no idea.

Some men are kinda stupid. NFL owners who do things for non-football reasons fit that description perfectly.

Yep, I misread it. My fault. Sorry, dude.

Edit: Misread this, corrected.

Given that the talk is they think a top five pick would be too high for him, that'd be kind of a shock.

Not mortgaging your future. Right now, I'd say trading up to #3 is smarter than giving up what it would take to get to #1. As Fitterer pointed out, if you give up the kinds of things that are being requested to trade up right now, you'd better be damn sure you're making the right decision. If you don't have - as he puts it - conviction, you don't do it. And you sure as hell don't do it just so you can say you took a "big swing".

No

I wouldn't guarantee that. There are likely some that do, but there are others who would tell you that they'll support your quest to get as much for yourself as you possibly can... But only up to the point where it affects their ability to do the same. Anyone who feels like he could have played and didn't is likely going to have it in the back of their mind that they might have a playoff victory, or more, on their resumé if not for that. They may not say anything publicly, but then you didn't see a whole lot of public criticism of Russell Wilson either...until he changed teams.

No problem, Nostradumass

No you're not dude, but nice try Hint: We're not getting Rodgers either.

There was a pretty big change on that front though (a fired coach). Is there a change like that you can anticipate happening now?

You're always gonna have fans that wanna sign someone for who they used to be.

Probably not. He'll likely be a Jet shortly.

Be smart. Bold isn't worth sh-t if you do something stupid.
