Apparently, Horn was always the pick

Well counter to Tepper reportedly wanting Fields, he looked pretty on board. 

Time will tell with this one.  Maybe Sewell being off the board saved a potential Horn over Sewell scenario from melting this board into oblivion lol.

 

Fields was always a smokescreen. You don't trade that much for a guy and start running a marketing campaign with him for him not to be the guy.

Rhule has also said that when Fit was chosen as the GM that he needed some who was a great talent evaluator to help him make the right choices on personnel based on what he wanted in the player/position.   So with that being said I'm sure that Fits laid out to him where the guys "should" be taken based on position value.  That's how it should work.

I got the sense that’s exactly how the dynamic works between them and I like it.

This pick should assuage fears of Tepper meddling. 
Tepper apparently is just talk when it comes to getting a franchise QB. 

I worry about this not working and Tepper going full Jerry Jones in a couple of years.

That is how is supposed to work and I think we finally have the right balance to do a better job of building a consistently competitive team.  Time will tell I suppose.  I do know that I personally think that this approach will pay off when it's all said and done.  I just wish Tepper had hired Fits a year or two sooner.

They should release the footage of 10 minutes before when they were all yelling obscenities because of the Lions.

I would love to see that myself.  I'm sure that they had a contingency plan if that happened.  They tried to get a trade done that they could live with that would keep them within the top 15 that would still give the a chance to take either Horn or someone else they had in their top 15 or 16 and add some more picks.  I think we got one of the top 3 needed positions addressed at least.

You don't trade the equivalent of our third round pick this year for a guy and not make him the guy?

I mean...

Eeeehhh, maybe. We don't really know what Rhule said to him. Could have been something as simple as "we really like you".

Reports confirm that we did take trade down offers.

We did take trade offers, but none of them were sufficient to kiss Horn goodbye.

Exactly.  The risk of losing a top prospect was too great to not get a much better offer to offset the loss.  I like that approach myself.  They are playing chess, not pickup sticks.

    • I have been on the Bech bandwagon since well before the SR Bowl.  Hoping that he would stay a hidden gem and we'd be smart enough to grab him late.  I just don't think Morgan cares as much about WR as we do
    • No one had posted in a month.  I don't think any of us were watching
    • Here is how this draft could get mind-blowingly complicated--Interesting comment about Jags floating the Jeanty idea to lure Chicago into a trade.  I have to think Ben Johnson is going to duplicate in many ways the success he had in Detroit, and I have to think their free agency was following the blueprint Carolina designed last year (one that the Saints designed before them with Brees) and they upgraded all of their interior linemen.  RT in Chicago is set; Johnson loves RT Darnell Wright.  However, at LT, Braxton Jones is coming off a December injury and is considered to be in a competition for the position this year by at least a few fans on the Bears Wire.  His PFF score, however, was solid, posting an 80+ score in pass protection and 70+ score in run blocking.  He is in his prime.  However, in some of their fan mocks, the Bears are taking a LT.  I thought they needed an Edge to play 4-3 strong side across from Sweat, but they signed Odeyingbo to a pretty big contract in March. For the Bears, in my view, it comes down to TE or Running Back. Kmet is their #1 TE and he had 474 yards in that role, which was 25th in the NFL last season for TEs.  Adding Warren would help upgrade the TE spot and give them the ability to add around an estimated 80 yards of production per game.  The Bears have D'Andre Swift at RB, but could use a RB to pair with him for a desired 2 RB attack.  So if I am Da Bears, I stay at 10 and take Warren.  If the Jags want to move on from Etienne, then they will take Jeanty. I think, if I were the Jags (with 10 picks this year) I would take Mason Graham and not try to get an 11th pick.  It is a need position, and it seems to me the only reason they are toying with the idea of moving on from Etienne is because Jeanty is on the board.  That, to me, would be a luxury pick. New GM, I think he does not get cute--they take Graham if they stay at 5.  I might say the Jags' biggest need is Corner.  #5 is too rich for Will Johnson, but remember, they have 10 picks.  could they move up with Cleveland and take Hunter, giving them a CB and WR threat?  To me, with the draft capital they have, that is the move they should make.  Cleveland then could move back to #5.  Remember, Nick Chubb is an aging (29) free agent coming off an injury--so he is gone.  With an additional second rounder, the Browns move back and take Jeanty to give Flacco a running game. The Jags pick is very interesting, but I would not be surprised to see them move up.
