This pick....tristan hill......makes me wonder if Marinelli has any opposing voices or just makes decisions in an echo chamber.

 

[Mountaineerfan]

Let's not get too optimistic about what Taco would bring in a trade. If a trade gets done at all, it may just end up being for a draft pick.

I'm not really optimistic but surely there are at least half of the 31starters with a back up that could do better.

 

[TheTruthIsOutThere]

Who had the better preseason performance? Taco or Crawford? Taco or Armstrong?

Maybe they feel he helped his value some.

Maybe, maybe not, but even if true, how much better is a question. After all, how much would it really matter if the improvement is only incremental?

a big fat DT please

 

[Sydla]

That's the best chance to get value back, IMO.

Yeah a 5th for Taco is ehhhh. I mean what kind of player you getting in the 5th?

I think I'd rather take a chance on another highly talented kid that might just need a change of scenery. Or a guy that simply doesn't fit with a new coaching staff. Maybe a guy like Karl Joseph or someone like that.

And maybe it's something else they're wrong about.

I see your point, but there is also the risk that the "talented kid" really doesn't have the potential and that's why he is expendable (like Taco). And there is the chance a 5th rounder could result in an Orlando Scadrick or Anthony Brown. Of course, could be a dud too.

But the odds are heavily stacked against you that your 5th round pick turns into Anthony Brown.

So if Oakland wants to trade my Karl Joseph for Taco? That's a trade I make all day long.

RB, S or DT

See, now that makes sense. Likely means there's no way they're looking at those! lol

I'm pretty sure they know more than you, they get to see him everyday on the sidelines and in practice, you get to watch from your coach.

 

[KingintheNorth]

I'd call Detriot and offer a Taco-for-Will Harris-trade. May have to use the New England method of trading close draft picks too, like we send a 5th and they send back a 6th.

Another failed, 'check your brain at the door' assumption. If they were as perfect as you want to think, we wouldn't be having this conversation, but that clearly also never occurred to you.

 

[JustChip]

Can rule out:
Wash-rival
Miami-tank
New Orleans-NFC competition

Arizona, Detriot, and Tampa make the most sense

I don’t know. Miami makes the most sense; they’re in flat out tank mode & Taco certainly can help in that regard.

Curious as to how "knowing more than you" becomes "they're perfect." Do you really think they don't know more than you regarding the Taco situation?

They "didn't know more than me" when they drafted him.

 

[Alexander]

We have one of those. He could not even make the active list last week.

 

[Wolfpack]

Teams trade for former 1st rounders like..... all the time?

Not when the current team has two players of the same position coming back in a few weeks who need roster spots. They have to cut someone soon.

 

[BigD49]

They "didn't know more than me" when they drafted him.

Well shoot man did you tell Jerry that? Think there's a job waiting for you in the league...

Congrats on not liking a pick, being right, and being able to successfully point to that as a reason why you're a better talent evaluator of our current players than the FO. No cherry picking involved, I'm sure
