It's similar to our market conversation the other day.
If Alex Smith cost Fuller and a mid third, then the market for a QB like TT was set at 4th-5th, IMO. Getting the top of the third is incredible.
No, that's not the point.
Even IF TT got $18M GTD, thinking we'd get the same pick the Chiefs got for Alex Smith is crazy. Because Alex Smith cost a third to a team that paid him $71M.
He's paid like he's 3x the QB, and we got a BETTER pick.
Tyrod can be cut for zero dollars at the start of the league year by the Browns.
So to recap. $71M GTD QB got a 3rd. $0 GTD got a 3rd.
Beane killed it. Your take is wrong here.
Look at what Alex Smith got. He was given $71M GTD.
TT won't get 10 cents GTD. They got the same picks back, actually the Bills got a better pick.
That's CRAZY.
Yeah, just ask the Redskins. They have had NO franchise QB's since they missed on RG3. Zero. Not a one. Set back for at least 6 years, maybe even 10. All because they have no franchise QB level player. RG3 is the reason they haven't even came close to the playoffs since 2012.
Hopkins just got $16M AAV and Alshon just got $13M AAV.
No one can seriously tell me that Watkins is gonna fall between the two of them on a long term deal.
