2021 Draft Weekend Chatter Thread

[Cowboysrock55]

Sounds to me like they were fishing...

 

[Smitty]

Jerry said that Parsons was the highest rated defender on their board. Yet they tried to trade up, allegedly for a CB. Then they traded down when they were supposedly trying trade up for a guy who was still there. That makes zero sense.

It is just the same happy horseshit they peddle every draft. "He was our top rated on the board". If that is the case, you don't risk losing them dropping down.

I feel like I would trade up to get both a corner and a safety here in the second. I feel like that’s where the value is.

Like if I could come away with Asante Samuel at 44 and then trade up to get Richie Grant in the 50s or something.

 

[Cotton]

Okay, so I have some reading to do to get caught up. Please bear with me as I Geng up this bad boy.

 

[Cotton]

i haven't heard he has injury concerns.

I had never heard that either, but I think Rev was talking about Jaylon.

 

[Cotton]

This one. The facts bear this out. Since 2018, Jaylon has outplayed LVE.

That’s how bad Vander Esch has been.

Uhh, no.

 

[Cotton]

Parsons is a flash player. Not a star.

He was not the pulse of Penn State's defense.

We got the new LaVar Arrington.

Maybe his claim to fame will be to injure some old franchise QB one day.

I can't wait for you to dine on crow.

 

[Cotton]

I hadn't either. Like I said, he hazed like a dick. Hopefully he grows out of that immature shit but hazing has always been part of football. Most of us who have played can admit it happened on our teams.

It happens all the damn time, and it ONLY HAPPENED ONCE with Parsons. It was ONE incident with only ONE other player and it has been blown all kinds of out of proportion.

 

[shoop]

So you agree it sounds like we are going to get a very good player. No need at this point to burn the three 3rds in trading around.

I think this draft is deep and we should just use our picks.

Still giddy that we got an extra one, and still landed the clear best defensive player in college football.

Correct. I wouldn’t be upset if we traded back up into the 2nd or higher in the third if the right player dropped but I would prefer we
Stay put and add talent.

 

[Cotton]

Caleb looks too white to play corner.

He is Casper level white.

 

[Cotton]

Richie Grant is who I want in the 2nd round. I've been on his bandwagon since Senior Bowl week.

He wasn't even on my radar until the Senior Bowl. He certainly is now. I would be ecstatic with him in the 2nd. And, Moerhig, Holland and Grant are all still on the board, so unless there is a run on safeties, we could get lucky and have one drop. I would take any of the 3 and be happy.

 

[GShock]

And there it is.

 

[GShock]

If true, we were saved from our own stupidity.

...and the in-house spin.

 

[Cotton]

We got caught between a rock and a hard place.

Given who is running this franchise, you should not be surprised.

We couldn't navigate out of a wet paper bag.

You didn't answer the question, Glen. Aer you saying we should have moved up to get Surtain or Horn?

Panicked children don't always get their stories straight before telling them.

Probably because all of it's bullshit. Or we called thinking maybe a team would give us a cheap trade. Also I don't know that we wanted Horn and Surtain. Totally possible we only wanted one.

 

[boozeman]

Good luck with that.
