Mods, we NEED a Doug Marrone "obviously" reaction. Not to mock a poster, but to agree smugly. Quote

Apocalypse Nuts Posted May 5, 2022 Posted May 5, 2022 On 5/4/2022 at 2:20 PM, MrEpsYtown said: The trade is all semantics. Like if they don't trade up maybe they lose Elam. Maybe they trade down, or take someone they don't want as much at 25. Sure they would still have their 4th, but it's a gamble. Let's say they stay put. They draft Elam (maybe), then they take Cook and Bernard. Beane essentially said the trade downs in the 2nd were to recoup picks, ammo. If he doesn't lose that 4th maybe he doesn't trade down. Let's say he never trades down and just takes Cook and then Bernard, he would have taken Shakir in the 4th. So all the trade up really cost him was that 5th, but they probably don't have those extra sixths. Probably take Araiza in the fifth, followed by Benford and Spector. So in reality, the trade up really just cost them a 5-6. That is how I see it in my mind. They had 8 picks and they drafted 7 guys. And rounds 1-4 go the same IF Elam is still there at 25. If he is really their guy, it is too much of risk to lose him even if there is a small chance someone takes him. I think us non-data-nerds can thank you for even extrapolating this far. I’m sure Beane’s head started hurting from all the over thinking and he just pulled the trigger to save on aspirin later on 1 Quote
