Six Teams not including us called for the Rams 41st pick

[MadHatter]

If the cowboys had taken Shaq or the Saints had taken Funchess, tge media would be falling all over themselves taking about what fantastic a picks they were.

You know it's true....it's damn true.

Never when playing the Panthers but I am happy for him and that someone from neck of the woods has made it.

I hope someone beats the hell out of him someday...just like he did to Holder.

Guy is a coward and a woman beater. Simple as that

Wrong Hardy. He's talking about WR Justin Hardy from ECU.

[KissMyConverse]

basically what that means is that Jeff Fisher thinks we were retarded to trade up, when we could have stayed at #57 and kept our #89 and #201 picks. Had we done that, we could have gone:

#57 - Jaelen Strong or Sammie Coates

#89 - Justin Hardy, Jamison Crowder, Rashad Greene, Stefon Diggs or Kenny Bell

#201 - Tre McBride or Dezmin Lewis (6-4/214 with 4.46 forty)

Wouldn't 3 WR prospects be better than one?

and we wouldn't have had to go WR at all 3 of those picks if we didn't want to.

I've heard this saying before... can't remember where..... it went something like

"I'd rather have a dollar than three dimes."

Much needed laugh. Sarcasm is such an art.

[MHS831]

We got a very fair deal considering how much interest there was.

 

Actually, if you check out the trade value chart, we got a very slight advantage in the first trade.  The second trade, with the Raiders, was actually a good deal--we came out up the equivalent of a mid sixth rounder

[gettlemanjack]

We had one guy we wanted, and we got him. That's it.

Remember, when it happened, everybody was freaking out, wondering if we gave up just #89 (3rd R) and #201 (6th) or if we gave up #57 (2nd R) on top of that

You couldn't even believe we gave up #57 (2nd R) or #89 (3rd R), you were the only one who was thinking we just gave up #201 (6th R):

We "only gave up a 6th."

So don't act like this wasn't an incredibly questionable and head-scratching move, because you were more shocked and in disbelief that we did this than anybody. Good thing we at least got a position everyone wanted out of it (WR), but again, why would you want just one guy when you can get three? Instead of trading up for Funchess, we could have stayed at #57 and kept our #89 and #201 picks. Had we done that, we could have gone:

#57 - Jaelen Strong or Sammie Coates (and possibly Funchess)

#89 - Justin Hardy, Jamison Crowder, Rashad Greene, Stefon Diggs

or Kenny Bell

#201 - Tre McBride or Dezmin Lewis (6-4/214 with 4.46 forty)

Since Carolina had a first-round grade on Funchess and not on the others, no, three were not better than one.

Is that a serious question? Why stop at 3 WR prospects when we could have...6! We could've traded our 1st for 5 7th round picks and drafted 6 "WR prospects"...cha-ching! Right?!

The Eagles and the Texans still traded up after they couldn't get the 41st pick.

The Eagles traded up with the Dolphins, moving from the 52nd to the 47th pick to draft Eric Rowe (CB, Utah). They gave up the 52nd and both their fifth-round picks (145 and 156) to the Dolphins in exchange for the 47th and the Dolphins sixth-round pick (191).

The Texans traded up with the Browns to the 43rd pick from the 51st to draft Benardrick McKinney (LB, Miss. St.). They gave up the 51st and their fourth-round (116) and sixth-round (195) picks to the Browns in exchange for the 43rd pick and the Browns seventh-round pick (229).

Looks like Gettleman may have won the battle for the 41st pick because he didn't care about getting back another late round pick as the Eagles and Texans did in their trade ups in the second round. Consistent with everything he's said and has been widely discussed regarding roster spots and his willingness to give up picks this year.

I wonder if teams are ever asked to reveal who they would pick if the trade goes through in order for the team fielding the trade to decide how that affects them. I doubt it but maybe.

Was thinking the same.

 

Even Atlanta and The Saints for that matter (and they would have praised the pick).

Your opinions aside: Gettelman obviously felt Funchess was better than those guys. So that's who he wanted, coveted (1st rd grade on him, remember).

 

Not hard to understand.

Didn't we just go through this?
