How many picks...


Matt Foley

Recommended Posts

I have noticed a trend lately of a lot of people on this board thinking that we need as many draft picks as possible. I wander if some of you realize that if we draft 8-10 players that we will be removing the same amount of people from our current roster.

We have a lot of young guys that gained invaluable playing experience last year. So the thought process here is to replace them with younger guys with no playing time?

And to Trade SS for what? A 4th round pick. We have a terrible record for drafting WRs. What is the bust percentage for 4th round WRs? Im guessing around 60-80% So we essentially replace our #1 WR for a guy that will probably not even be in the league in 2 years.

The roster is only so big. So what 10 guys off our current roster would all of you like to dump for unproven rookies? Personally I can only think of 5 or 6. We don't need 20 draft picks and definitely not at the cost of guys that have proven they can play at the highest level in the NFL like SS or D Will.

39 players are under contract.

Smith's value, at 32, is not that high. The only reason we would trade him is out of necessity (he wants a trade and/or his attitude is deemed toxic by the coach). You would never replace him for what you would get.

As for accumlating picks, it gives you a lot of toys to maneuver around during the draft. I get 12 picks, for example, and I can wheel and deal to get 5 in the top 2 rounds.
