Twitter: Jerry on going offense at 10 “Don’t be stupid”

[RS12]

So he is going to trade the 10th pick to NY for Jason Garrett?

I have put up with a lot for a quarter century but that would 100% be the end for me.

I think it's obvious they are going to see about getting Pitts. And hey, telegraphing your moves always improves your leverage. Am I right.

I don't know there is talk Pats want to move up to get fields I guess we will see how it effects their leverage. lol

 

[big dog cowboy]

so if Justin Fields or Lance falls to 10, we should take him?

No. Trade back.

 

[Reid1boys]

In perfect Jerry words, he left it very ambiguous.

uhmm.... is he supposed to say... yea, I love Pitts and I am willing to trade away the farm to get him?

No. I’m just saying there is a way in newfangled Jerry speak where you could read that as “that’s dumb, of course D is important” or “that’s dumb, of course offense is on the radar.”

I think Jerry meant that don’t be stupid quote to a lot of people on the Zone calling for best player available even offense.

"Don't be stupid over your needs," Jones said

Understatement of the 1/4 Century.

Taking Jerry's word for it: Don't be stupid!

I hired a sky writer to fly over and write, "Jerry draft on defense!"

 

[JoeKing]

So, was it stupid a year ago to draft Lamb in the 1st rd? No! For the right player, it wouldn't be stupid this year either.

Couple of translations.

We don’t think we have real needs, because my boy and I just have built a great roster already.

I won’t trade crazy value to get Pitts but I’d still trade something for him.

Listening to Jerry speak is akin to being rubbed in maple syrup and tied to a tree during a black fly swarm.

Hey Jerry speaking of stupid, why tell everyone that we are not considering an offensive player at 10, last time I checked OT is offense.

Everyone knows we are taking Surtain at 10 if he is still there. The whole league knows this

Is that what he said though?

it’s Jerry-speak

he said both!

 

[8FOR!3]

hes right lol

if u draft need over bpa it might work...the draft is not science but it is not a smart thing to do. roster turn over, injures, a "luxury" pick can become a need in 1 single play in the nfl.

im glad jerry is not stupid all the time.

I completely agree with taking BPA. Horn will not be the best player available at 10 no matter what. So the idea of taking him there tells me that we wouldn't value BPA.
