Didn't say that. All I said is if you want an elite player, you better hope a miracle happens. Otherwise, you might as well bail out to the bottom of the round.
Yet, we did just that only last year.
As long as we aren't taking TE's with the extra picks I'm ok.
Squirrel... nut.
Right. Like that was the only time we've ever traded down.
You missed what Booze was saying. We did trade down, but we didn't take advantage of the trade down because we blew a second and a third on a TE and a small school safety.
It's not about trading down. It's about getting something for it. Last year is the first time I can remember Jerry actually getting something good in a trade down. Even though we got raped in the trade.
The extra pick is our starting WR. I would say good move.
But we're no better off than if we had picked Terrence Williams in the second. It didn't give us any more players, just more room for Jerry to play and waste resources. So, yeah, too stupid to take advantage of a trade.
That and we did get a very modest return for what we gave up.
Cowboys fans.
Touche.
We wouldn't have though. We still would have taken a TE and we would be short a starting WR right now. So yes the trade last year did turn out good. You can't start bringing in facts that have absolutely nothing to do with the trade and the picks we got in return.
Last year's draft was more a product of dumb luck than shrewd draft strategy. The Escobar choice was foolish and we were fortunate to land Williams where we did. Plain and simple.
