Wow...just wow.
It's amazing how many people we have who dont understand the draft at all.
There are genuinely people here who believe picking someone at 51, no matter that the team didnt see anyone worthy of the pick, is better than moving down.
Teams were not crazy to move up to 51 where we were. There were no must have players. If a Chad Henne type QB would have been there (like last yr) we'd have probably got a much better "value" trade. Without it, you are stuck either vastly overdrafting someone there or trusting your scouts, who say there's nobody available (save McCoy, who they rated as a 1st rd pick and he was of absolutely no use to us) worth the pick or moving down and getting what you can.
What makes it look even dumber for some is alot of the players people were pounding their chest about as guys we should pick at 51 (or even trade up for) are still available. We have 5 of the first 52 picks tomorrow and 12 overall. We are going to own the 2nd day.
I dont know what some of you expected. They had one or maybe two positions where a 2nd rd pick could have come in and maybe challenged for a starting role. When those guyss werent available, the focus should then be on getting value and creating better depth over the 2nd half of the roster, and they'll be able to do that now.
