Thanks for your support!
Why, you dont like the results from last yr?
It's not if you're looking for an impact player.
I just don't get why you would want to trade down from a position where there are proven difference makers to a spot where you hope to hit on guys that may or may not become starters. Ryans and Caserio said they think they traded into the sweet spot in the draft and you want to trade out of the sweet spot for more lotto tickets? I just don't get this line of thinking.
That and the fact you just jumped back behind 24+ more highly rated draftees.
It really depends on who Houston is targeting at 42 and if they are still available when they are on the clock. For example, say they are have a tier of players they like at #42 (Edgerrin Cooper, Peyton Wilson or Braden Fiske for example). If all those players are gone and you think someone from your next tier will be available at #66 then why would you not take that trade and get the extra pick?
They wouldn't have traded back if they didn't think one of the guys they like would be available. I could even see Caserio trading back up to the late 1st if a guy Caserio/Ryans likes falls to the late 1st/early 2nd. Doubtful he trades back even further.
In that argument, why would they trade up if they thought one of their targets would be available at 42? Trading back further makes more sense to me then trading up. Why trade #23 if that is in the plans then?
Caserio explained it in his last session with Vandemeer & Harris. If the draft gets around 20 and someone unexpected is available then you start looking at who may want to trade down and how much it will cost. He pretty much said it's doubtful they make a move Thursday but not impossible.
Only so many players that can make the team. Quality over quantity now that the roster has been basically set!
I think it would only make sense if the prospect was worth the price paid.
Nick should be able to get up into the late 20s of the first with his #42 & 3rd round pick and
How would you feel about this?
You are certain that there are no impact players in round two?
I looked into that actually but 66 and 71 by the point scale is a few to our advantage. If there was an extremely high impact player that Cardinals needed, they might, but I sincerely doubt it. They have too many draft picks to select what they need to overpay.
There are plenty of impact players at 2-42. Impact players I've got in the 2nd at position of need who are on the level of Legette are
Well of course, but by that standard we could just close down this message board.
First of all, iirc, Nick said rounds two, three and part of round four I think were his sweet spot. Why did he trade out of 23 only to get two round two's? Well he got a Difference Maker with a 2025 round 2. By your logic, 23 would have given him a greater chance than the two round twos.
Why, there are tons of things to talk about that aren't nebulous hypotheticals?
So it's okay to drop behind 20 from 23 to 42? Do you even read what you post before you hit the post button?
Nebulous hypotheticals are what is talked about in mock draft talk, trade discussion and many other things. If you don't want to participate just don't.
They certainly can be, but they're far - like really far - from the only thing.
You are welcome
He did stress the cost and it making sense. Finding a trade partner might not be easy either in the limited time available
We have already dropped back so why do it again? Just so you can have fun with mocks?
Perhaps for the same reason that Nick traded back from 23? Same reason he traded back last draft and then back up. We talked about that then also.
I would pick Wright and Hall Jr over Legette. But I love Legette in the 3rd, although he disappointed me at the Sr. Bowl with his lack of route running abd that he came in at 6'1 instead of 6'3
Using your logic, why not trade all your picks back to round 7 so we can have 60 draft picks?
Now you're just being ridiculous. My mistake for even responding to you.
Your mistake for starting in on me.
I think Casserio might move up for a single player but yea they may sit tight and use those picks for whichever players are on their Board.
This is what I was thinking. I am expecting some consolation of picks and gaining a pick or two in 2025.
I am strongly backing Lucky's play here, I think his number's are spot on.
I'll take the over, especially if it's already sitting at two trades made.
Okie, I thought we were specifically talking during the draft.
I liked the results from last years draft/trades even while you were pathetically dismissing our first pick. I’m all in for a good FA or two pick up every year. But I’d rather look for gems in the draft before resorting to FA one year hole fillers as a first approach. Even more so in a draft year like this one.
