Default Adam Schefter Tweets About The Draft *Merge*
Adam Schefter ‏ @AdamSchefter Promises to be an active, unpredictable draft. One NFL GM went so far as to say today, "Picks 3-16 are all trying to trade back."




...just tweeted that...

should mean a buyers market so you might be able to move up for well below normal cost
Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. These passions, like great winds, have blown me hither and thither, in a wayward course, over a great ocean of anguish, reaching to the very verge of despair....Bertrand Russell

Makes sense. Not alot of elite talent, but tons of depth

Then we should focus on quality and not quantity. We do not need another 2009 draft, which also lacked elite talent.

I would rather trade up for Cox or even Barron then trade back to add a 4th rounder.

This draft scares me.

Default Tweet from Schefter says 3-16 looking to trade picks
Adam Schefter ‏ @AdamSchefter

Promises to be an active, unpredictable draft. One NFL GM went so far as to say today, "Picks 3-16 are all trying to trade back."


Looks like if we really want to move up, the price may not be as steep as in previous years but is there value in doing so?

Edit: Dang, should have been in the Draft Zone.

Yes and with the holes we have it's a good year to get some quantity on this team for the positions we need.

I'd do the opposite which is what it appears most are trying to do. Fall back and draft players in the same relative tier. I'm sure they're ranked but there are many players very roughly the same talent in the first three rounds.
Did you know there are only 5000 Snow Leopards in the wild now and they are confined to Central Asia? However, the effective global population (those likely to reproduce) is less than half that number.

The rookie wage scale really throws a wrench in things.
