Draft Weekend Chatter Thread...

[boozeman]

Great pick for the Jags.

 

[Deuce]

Bortles gets richer.

It's frustrating because it smacks of a desperate, need-based move. I get it that they need an edge rusher, but nothing I've read leads me to believe this guy is worth a 2nd & a 3rd.

 

[NoDak]

Just cause is deep doesn't mean all the players were fits. What if we kept the pick and planned to take C.J. Fiedorowicz? The bitching would have been endless. At least now the 3rd was used to achieve a goal and get a potentially elite talent.

So now we're imagining that we might have taken a TE, so it makes a stupid trade up more palatable?

Jesus Christ. What ever makes you feel better, I guess.

If Justin Blackmon ever pulls his head out, Bortles will have two very nice weapons.

 

[BipolarFuk]

Ealy at 47 and a third rounder or Lawrence?

It's an example. It's just as possible that we waste the pick as use it correctly. Hell, it's actually more likely we would've wasted it to be honest.

 

[NoDak]

The only way this trade makes sense is if Lawrence becomes an elite rusher.

I hate that Jerry can do this...make me hate players because he is too stupid to evaluate their value appropriately.

I actually had us trading all the way down in the first for him. That still doesn't mean he's worth another player on a team that frankly needs bodies everywhere.

Right. If we had traded down and selected him at the bottom of the first, I would have been high fiving the selection. Taking him even further down the draft should represent even better value, right?

No. Not if you give up a 3rd f'n rounder to do it.

Yeah, but if this guy doesn't pan out they wasted 2 picks.

And what if we had done that, acquired a couple extra thirds, and with one of them took Trai Turner?

Would have come out ahead.

The former.

 

[Deuce]

Bortles and Lee worked out in pre-draft sessions together.

Basically they are the next Montana to Rice.

He got late hype as a potential 1st. So I can see the logic. The retard logic.

What they basically said with this trade is that the defense is set. The DL is set.

We were just one edge rusher away from fielding a competitive defense.

Again, insane.

 

[Deuce]

Absolutely. But if you grade him a first rounder, you're betting he won't bust. So you make the move to get him.

Nice blast on the Martin pick but no.

 

[GForce78NJ]

what are the chances timmy jernigan drops to the fourth due to character concerns?

 

[p1_]

Or even the sixth we don't have?

As much as they made strides last night being smart, they got stupid. Stupid as shit tonight.

Just another case of how another team can scare Jones into doing something stupid.

Now, we can just pack it in for this draft.

That third was valuable.

What's funny is we gave up more than the Niners did to jump all the way up in the first last year.

Insanity.

Sounds like we got hosed.

 

[Rev]

I dont know why you guys still get mad at this kind of stuff. You know its coming. Every year.

 

[ravidubey]

If Lawrence is truly a first round value then this was worth it.

Yep. This trade definitely makes you think Jerry thinks we are oh so close. His inability to judge a draft and more importantly, judge his own roster, continues to be our biggest obstacle.
