I think the point is you can draft a young guy on rookie contract. I mean, Tyreke was a 5th rd pick,Terrel Davis was a 6th also. I would like to see them get a bunch of 6th and 7th rd picks and just draft a bunch of young guys vs washouts.
I was specifically talking about him throwing up Brady as an example of why teams shouldn't trade a 6th round pick for a player.
If you're not trading a 6th for a player because you might draft another Brady with that pick, where does that logic end?
Based on that logic, why would you ever trade a 5th round pick for a player?
That 5th rounder could be the next Brady.
Now, extrapolate that all the way to the 1st round and tell me where it's supposed to be OK to trade that pick despite the long odds of it potentially turning into the next Brady.
That logic could extend all the way to the #1 over all pick. Obviously that's an extreme example.
After that, it's basically a discussion about where each of us thinks the value of trading for a player equals or outweighs the odds of drafting the next Brady with a particular pick.
And that's not even considering that fact that the odds of drafting the next Brady actually increase as the draft pick gets higher.
Certainly the odds of drafting the next Brady with a 3rd round pick are better than a 6th round pick, despite that fact that Brady was a 6th rounder, right?
