So stockpiling picks makes him competent? they dont even have to get on the field first? Damn...things have changed.

It’s a start. Chances of getting 2-3 good players on Day 3 are a lot better when you have 7 picks than when you 3 or 4. The math on this ain’t hard.

Yeah, but you have to understand at this point in the draft you’re generally not selecting NFL level players.

You're drafting flawed players at this point. Lots of NFL starters knocking around, as evidenced by every NFL roster and the law of averages.

I think the idea here is due to the odd circumstances created by the covid season, more guys will slip through the early round cracks than normal.

Possible. Though in general it also means that it’s very difficult this year to scout.

That is the first one I am legitimately upset about missing on in Jabril Cox.  We were there and could've taken him and traded back.

I honestly didn't like his instincts when I watched his cut-ups. Athletic, but looked lost at times.

The stats over a decade. It takes a decade worth of fourth round picks to hit that statistic. This is basic math. Look up the by year hit rate.

What is it you are trying to say here? If 60 % of the league is made of players from the forth and down, then there is NFL level players to be found you said thats not the case.

Yeah not a fan of trading down in rounds 2 and 3, now it’s almost troll level how many times we’ve traded down.

hedging your bet that you’ll find a diamond in the rough in rounds where statistically the outcome of that happening is slim, if we have the same grade for all these guys than I except those guys who went before us not to out shine our 7 6th round picks we’ll be fielding. This is dangerous

Sure you can keep going. But the thousands of players who’ve never played a snap dwarfs your list of pro bowlers 

But you're giving yourself more chances to find them what are you not understanding  here??.. Your logic is dumb..

    • Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.
    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
    • Well, we got our answer on Army today.
