Edwards' grade at NFL.com was 4.2

[eViL jEsTeR]

he was drafted amongst players ranked in the mid to upper 6's.

why didn't we wait until the 4th or even 5th? why give up a second round pick for a 4.2 graded player?

i see his potential. i understand why we have him and think he'll be able to contribute but giving up a second round pick where we could get a player graded in the mid to upper 7's next year, to move up to take a player graded 4.2 this year just seems a little wacky!

i'd rather have the top DT or DB available at the time than have a guy to run gimmick wildcard plays.

apparently another team was going to grab him. doesn't justify the future 2nd round pick trade, but it's exciting that we have such a play-maker now. our return game might actually be legit.

I'm glad this hasn't been discussed in other threads.

Mods should be working OT tonight....

dude please. why must we go through this. hes listed as a 4.2 as a QB. hes NOT playing QB. so thats your first problem. second problem is, we picked mid 4th round, and there was no guarantee he would have fell to us. sometimes i think some of you look for something to complain about. its not that bad a move.

it hasn't. or at least i've failed to see where his actual draft grade was mentioned.

Oh son of a bitch, a draft grade. You're right, that doesn't tie in to any other threads about this in any way. This definitely needed its own thread. Thank you!

i agree. He has natural play-making ability and is a specialist/hybrid type (which we needed). I think its a solid move. Our FO is showing us the confidence they have in this kid by doing this.

okay so do you think that Edwards is better than a player we would have gotten in the second next year? Anyone that argues that we couldnt have gotten a better player with next years 2 is delusional. One of the drawbacks of having a coach without a longterm contract is that the interest of management and the organization are not the same. this trade is good for Fox/Hurney but bad for the organization in the long run.

how the HELL do you know whats good or bad for this organization in the long run. for crying out loud we don't have a second round pick. So damn what! i so sick of all the crying. we dont even know what he can do. as much as he can suck, he can also end up being the best slot receiver in the league. we dont know, but im not going to sit here and piss on what fox/hurney did. its ridiculous. let the kid get on the field, then whine

Depends on where were picking next year, how good armanti is. Who would be left where we pick next year in the second........Lots of variables there. Say if Armanti catches 300 yards of passes, rushes for 100 and has 2200 yards total counting PR & KR with 4-5 Td's....I'd say no....

So no definite answer on that question. Most likely though, I'd say yes.

If everyone would just post "BLAAAAAAARGH!!!! Edwards Baaaad!" It would save time
