Gotta Practice Squad Question

For all you know it all's. 

It seems to me there is a rule about when a team comes and gets a player off your practice squad.  The team that has him on the practice squad has the opportunity to avoid losing him by adding him to their 53 man roster.   Is that correct?

That said and if it is correct.  We should have brought Butker to the 53 man roster and traded him to the highest bidder.  KC and now Tampa would have given a decent draft choice for him.  TB we could have squeezed them for a higher pick because their kicking game is a disaster.

Instead we wasted a pick for nothing.

Hindsight is 20/20...there were no offers at the time...if there were we would have pulled the trigger. No way of knowing the Bucs kicker would poo the bed that bad, or any teams kicker for that matter.

It may work out well for us in next year's draft if Butker has a great year. Could get an extra pick in the middle rounds of the draft. So in essence that 7th round pick coukd end up being a 3rd, 4th, or 5th.

How would we get a pick? He wasn't a free agent loss

Of course it is.  My thinking was we kept him on week 1 roster until Gano showed he was capable of doing what we are paying him to do.   Had we added him back he would have been inactive and we have 3 or 4 guys that will probably be inactive every week.  I would have rather we stiffed KC and put him back to see if we could get something for him.

This is what I thought too?  We get nothing because they took him off the practice squad.   Then again, I am not too savvy on the rules of what happens when someone is claimed.

    Yada, yada, yada. Rabble, rabble, rabble. We lost a 7th round pick. Oh the horror. The kid did what he was drafted to do. Give Gano a push. Or be there if Gano imploded, which did not happen. 

 

    Think of it this way. If you are a Gman fan. You can say he hit on a 7th rounder. If you are not a fan of Gman. You can say he wasted a 7th round pick. In the grand scheme of things. Losing Buttkicker is nothing.

      I think you've nailed what we need right here.  Rodriguez and Thieneman would be my choices, Thieneman in the first and Rodriguez in the second. Let everyone else eat up their picks on the crop of WRs and linemen. Then make a push in free agency for the top center.

      Vernon Gholston vibes?  had 14 sacks at Ohio State in 2007; 45 games in the NFL:  0 sacks.

      I want a high impact player, but a true FS who could qb the secondary might be more effective than we realize.  I don't think Moehrig is that guy (I think he is overpaid, however).  I want a flashy, high impact player, but we could use defensive qbs at ILB  and FS.  By upgrading skill AND adding vision and leadership, could we get better than if we added an edge or OT? I am not sure that I believe this myself, but I try to look at things from all perspectives.  Here is some devil's advocacy stuff: 1. EDGE-We are freaking out about the pressure we put on the qb from the edge position.  However, Jones II and Wonnum missed a total of 22 games. Scourton was a rookie and Princely was a third rounder.  Wharton sucked (not sure if he was used properly--a hybrid who can rush from the 5 tech or 3, etc), and this put more pressure on Scourton and the other edge players.  This year, we get Jones II, Scourton should continue to evolve with Princely.  Perhaps another rookie is not what we need.  Maybe a veteran situational pass rusher.  2. OFFENSIVE TACKLE:  Of course, we need an OT, but the draft is loaded with OTs that can pass block but struggle in run blocking--so a rookie at LT might not be the answer for a team that wants to run first.  What to do?  I am not sure.  I see Nijman returning after testing the market, but who knows? 3.  INSIDE LB:  A huge need, regardless of how you spin it.  However, I see a few free agents who would be solid here, and I see the second round having a few ILBs with starting potential.  I do not see an ILB worth the first round pick unless a freak falls to us. 4.  With veteran defensive backs, a young, intelligent FS could fit in nicely. Intelligence is key--like the way Luke made the front 7 better. "A good, intelligent free safety (FS) acts as the "quarterback of the defense" transforming a unit from good to great by acting as the last line of defense, communicating pre-snap adjustments, and anticipating plays before they happen. By reading the quarterback's eyes and diagnosing offensive schemes, an intelligent FS acts as a "centerfielder" who can neutralize deep threats and mitigate errors made by cornerbacks or linebackers."
