draft picks = salary cap space

 

if you trade away a draft pick.......you still have the salary cap space to sign a free agent

 

draft picks are riskier than free agents

 

conclusion: don't worry so much about all the draft picks it takes to move up to #2

 

working pretty well for philly and the rams

Rex Ryan's Mock draft should be published, so the entire NFL knows what NOT to do.

 

Already know what his draft board looks like. Just has half of the Clemson starting roster.

Both Philly and especially the Rams had much more talent already on hand before those big trades for Wentz and Goff.  Neither of those QBs would have had that level of success without support

If the Giants can get a 1st rd pick in 2018 or 19 for OBJ and and #12 , #22 and 1st rd in 2019 from the Bills they should get a replacement for ELI.

I'm with it until the ellipsis!

 

I've gone from not wanting to trade up to being willing to give up the farm. Not sure why.

I'm guessing it's the realization none of those future draft picks means anything if we don't have a great QB, anyway.

You make a good point that it's not just about the qb but also the overall roster. So there is an intermediate solution to this issue: trade up but only as far as it takes to get one of the top tier qbs. Instead of trading with the Giants for the two spot it would make more sense to deal with the Colts at the six spot. The assumption is that there will still be on the board one of the top tier qb prospects. If all of them are taken then keep your picks and use them to bolster the roster. 

 

In every draft there are unexpected twists and turns. I wouldn't be surprised if a number of the top drafting teams decide to pick for other positions resulting in some qbs falling down the board. My point is that this isn't an all or nothing gung ho strategy for a qb. I'm confident that this regime that has demonstrated good judgment will make their calculations and come out with a smart decision.

so that means we won’t be making a big offer for the #2 pick.

 

but i just wagered more than i could afford that it will happen if Rex said so.....  :(
