He’ll be so elite when he signs with a good team in 5 years time imo

It would be so Giants to pass on QBs for RBs in the top 10 for the second time in 7 years and wonder why they suck so bad.

It sucks having good players commanding good salaries. We need more Damar Hamlin’s taking near vet minimums instead lol

It’s actually funny you say that, because last year was the most notable year that Beane wasn’t able to move up the draft much. It was a relatively weaker draft. The plan of using extra anmo to move up never materialized. He found plenty of suitors to move back because those later picks weren’t valued as high

I’m not sure id describe trading up for Kaiir Elam as a wizard move

Dalton will be 45 before anyone expects him to have developed

Eddy O suffers from what Kyle Williams suffered. A smaller penetrating 3t not named Aaron Donald can be too easily neutralized by a good scheme. Baltimore #1 and KC take his lunch money constantly. That’s not to say that our DL struggles are entirely on Ed just like they weren’t entirely on Kyle. But he is simultaneously an absolutely disappointing top 10 pick and a good player. And I do think prioritizing 1t’s to “unlock him” over 3t’s who may just be flat out upgrades is a mistake. At this point in his career, he is who he is.

The thing about trades like this is that all the other GMs in NFL have similar ideas on where the “value” is in this draft. So really, why would any opposing GM do this? The only reason is if they have a player they covet when we pick. And even then, do they covet them enough to take them in round 1 and basically miss out on day 2? They are all trying to rob the same train.

Has a disgruntled RB hit market since then?

Or just use snipping tool on the photo

Did the Jets leave the league or something lol?

Think that was the point after getting the ball 400 times for a few years. I doubt Bell or his agent regret chasing the bag.

Bell got everything he wanted. 2x + guarantees of the franchise tag

I think it’s largely not possible because of passing physicals and stuff, right? Like you trade Cook for a fifth and then we take a player. Maybe Cook doesn’t pass his physical and they don’t want that player.

Khalil Shakir is underrated by his darn catch, yard and TD totals. Folks see the Josh Allen - Shakir connection, and they squint past the 1000 yards difference between Burrow - Chase, Stafford - Megatron, Anybody - Justin Jefferson.

I think what @Bill from NYC has right is that when you look at independent affect on the game of your listed "premium positions," CB is the probably the least. Put another way, if you could have top 5 at any of those positions, I think CB would be the last pick. All that being said, for every losing season the Jets had with Sauce Gardner, how many winning seasons did they have with Revis being their only true superstar?

Take the better player and figure it out later. Passing on Luka for Marcus Bagley for a better fit type beat.

Draft Nolan. Trade Ed for Addison preseason. ????? Profit? In all seriousness, I get that argument. It’s probably a more macro way of looking at the Bills or long term v short term. I do wonder if trying close the gap because we “are close” all the time is going to come back to bite us though.

Why? how many years does Ed have left of good but not great play? He’s gonna be 28 in December. He doesn’t strike me as a guy who is gonna play til 35

Because we drafted him

Draft Nolan and trade Ed.

Draft Nolan and trade Ed

Josh had his worst receiving core since 2018 last year. Not sure him having to be Superman less than last year is the correct take. Did he play somewhat smarter and safer? yes. Did he benefit from having a good OL and a good running game? yes. Were nearly all of our explosive plays off-script crazy scrambles that only he made with regularity last year? also yes.

Man I’m just trying to read a fun thread and I have to see this?
