The Darnold Compensation is Now Official

Unsure how it will shake out career wise, but the compensation is now known with players, no longer future picks:

2021 6th:

Trey Smith OG Tennessee - This pick ended up being shipped to KC from NYJ.  It turned out pretty damn well but these are hit/miss and he fell due to medical.  We had a chance to draft him twice before this pick in the round.  It is simply not the trades fault, rather our own for not taking the chance instead of Deonte or Fletcher. 

2022 2nd (38):

Arnold Ebiketie EDGE ended up being picked by ATL at 38.  The Jets trade to NYG, the Giants trade it to Atlanta.  A developmental, slightly undersized edge rusher.  Boom/bust

2022 4th:

Max Mitchell OT ended up going to the Jets with their 4th rounder.  I liked him, has a lot of potential at RT or guard.  Developmental, will likely be a depth piece.

I will not provide much more commentary, but it is known.

Looking at that list, one can see why the Rams trade for proven players and ignore the casino that the draft is.

I guess trading for unproven players makes little more sense even if this was an all time miss. And regardless nothing excuses the option pick up.

What about other guys we could have used that 19 million on this year? That deal had more to give than just draft picks. Being able to keep Riddick comes to mind. I'm hopeful but I am not convinced we replaced him adequately yet.
