None of our other GMs did. Player personnel was not a week point. He had a lousy training staff and couldn't get along with coaches he didn't choose. You are just another guy that evaluates with his emotions and not his head.
No I get that but rookies in a deep class are cheap as well. I would give pick 65 for him after how he played well this past season but I would take Talib and Peters at less than a first before I took him for a first. Especially when Peters is on the cheap as well at the moment.
And Brady had to wait until the sixth round. The odds say that you are right. But you never know. It would be great if he turned out to be the best free agent signing of 2018 wouldn't it.
I tried that once they asked me not to come back.
He is Tyrod's friend.
So Rivers is better than Brees and Kap was better than Alex Smith.
Even better Flutie was better than Brees
Whaley was the GM during the draft. you don't make the decision to trade down after the draft has already happened. McD made the decision to trade down and get a QB and Pegs supported it. Whaley liked Watson and Trubisky. He wanted to trade up for Trubisky. I think Pegs took one look at Watkins and went with McD. Whaley had to go because he was not on the same page as McD.
They have scouts all over this board to gather information.
1-Because they know there are top scouts that go to high level business meetings.
2-They are really concerned about what we think they should do. They don't want to get in trouble with the posters on TSW.
From that view point it would be worse to give up all those picks and be wrong so lets just not be wrong what ever we do. If they believe they found a transforming talent go get him. But don't make it so you can't get the other pieces. A lot of free agent money next year tho.
It did include TT they used him to get 65
That may be why he didn't start for Pettine. He isn't viewed as being tall enough. I think to have a higher value to them he would need to be a starter.
You have to pay attention to the whole market. Who do you want in a trade, Darby or Peters and Talib.
Peters 2019 2nd and 2018 4th
Talib 2018 5th round
This draft is loaded with DBs
They got great value for Darby because DC and scheme familiarity.
This is the only one I use. Sorry I didn't get your approval to make a new account rather than use an account I have not used in many years. I can see by your profile you are a long standing member whose opinion matters to me.
He only started 1 game under Pettine and was used as an edge rusher. I don't know that anyone uses a true and strictly 3-4 system anymore and not all 3-4s are like Rex overly exotic concoction.
Hughes is very underrated on this board by many. Thank you for understanding that sacks are just a stat. Interceptions don't happen on a sack play.
