We should at least get a 5 and a 6.
Unless a stud falls to the Cowboys (picking in the 20's) then I'd trade down. If they could get 2 2nds and 2 3rds then I'm doing backflips. 4 picks on day 2 sounds pretty good to me.
Same. Even in the 2nd rounds, to trade back into the 4th, and 5th, you can hit on players in those rounds. Some spend a 2nd, ahem, ahem, on guys who get lucky to get a few reps a game. Others find starters in those later rounds. It really is what makes a team good, or bad: the level of scouting you do, and how good your analysis is, regardless of the round.
I take the wins with the losses, or the losses with the wins. However, you want to look at it. That's what good scouts do. Win some; lose some. It's how right you are and how often.
As far as I can see, scouts don't get enough credit. We all credit McClay, but I would like to be a fly on the wall and see the dynamics of how he runs his team.
The ones who go around pointing out how wrong X,Y, Z was on that one or those few picks, are really the football challenged ones.
