He is way better than Cook or EJ. Solid guy playing in a situation where he could be asked to play meaningful games if Carr gets hurt. Glad for the kid. All the best to him. The comeback was nice to see, but he was God-awful in that game and even with the comeback stats padding the overall game stats, they were still horrible. Just now, Peace Frog said: That's true. Richard Sherman, Kam Chancellor, and Kyle Williams all turned out to be horrible 5th round picks. ? There are always statistical deviants but that is not predictable. The general assumption that a 5th will get you nothing is accurate, almost always.
Peace Frog Posted September 1, 2018 Posted September 1, 2018 3 minutes ago, Fadingpain said: Huh. Surprised he could get a 5th for him, not that a 5th is worth much. AJ and EJ! Now they need some QB named "MJ" and they are all set in Raider Land! Tell that to Richard Sherman, Kam Chancellor, and Kyle Williams.
26CornerBlitz Posted September 1, 2018 Posted September 1, 2018 Katherine Webb is staying but Beane had to throw in future considerations. 1
jlgarsh Posted September 1, 2018 Posted September 1, 2018 We must have set a record for dead cap space. It's like the early Snyder era Redskins, when they signed every free agent who was 35+ years old to a 5 year deal, only to cut them 8 months later.

Roundybout Posted September 1, 2018 Posted September 1, 2018 But Beane sucks because we gave up a 7th two years from now @Ittakestime 1 1
davefan66 Posted September 1, 2018 Posted September 1, 2018 A little surprised he was traded. Kinda expected him to be the veteran presence. Surprised we got a 5th. 1

Just like the general assumption that getting nothing for a player you do not want anyway will get you nothing is accurate ALWAYS.

The probability is against a 5th round pick becoming a solid starter, much less a star - something like 1 in 15or 1 in 20. But every year there are ~36-38 picks in the 5th round, so every year 1-2 players drafted in the 5th will turn out well or even become stars. 1

It wasn't his best first half. But he had 5 throws that were to avoid a sack or kill the clock, a number of drops, and WRs that ran horrible routes on some pretty decent throws. And Chucky loves that grit. For a back up role he is a solid guy to have. Happy we got a fifth for him.

There are always statistical deviants but that is not predictable. The general assumption that a 5th will get you nothing is accurate, almost always. First of all, a 5th could be packaged with other picks/players for something way better. Draft capital, no? Also, Mark Brunell, Herschel Walker, Zach Thomas, Rodney Harrison, and Kevin Greene might disagree with you.
BuffaloBillsMagic1 Posted September 1, 2018 Posted September 1, 2018 If only a fifth and we get hit with dead space then it does not make sense. Should have just kept him. 2

I'm all down with building draft capital and a 5th will be quite handy in next year's draft.
