Kelvin Benjamin for a 3rd and 7th round pick is like me selling my two extra club seats for the Monday Night Football game for $20 a piece, it doesn't make sense.

In the spirit of Halloween, I may continue to dress as Marty Hurney as I attempt to sell these bad boys and I'll trade them away for peanuts.

Secondly, you can add by subtraction unless that player is a hindrance to the success of the team and growth of players around them; Benjamin was neither of those and I find this development extremely troubling because Hurney stated he wanted more speed...without adding more speed. At 5-3 and right on the Saints heels, this wasn't the time to make a move.

 

Lastly, I was offered Alex Smith for Hopkins prior to last week in fantasy because I was starting Matt Moore. It was a coincidence that my opponent last week was the one offering the trade. I ended up winning because of Hopkins. Again, just because you can make a move doesn't mean you should.

 

P.S.: This thread sucks.

      Joe Person: Panthers really like Mason Graham and Jalon Walker

      I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.

      Depends if they see the writing on the wall with their roster and contracts and decide to bite the bullet and begin a complete rebuild and roster overhaul.  I have no clue why some franchises (IE us) refuse to do this and keep half assing trying to win 8 games or so.  Do it correctly, take your lumps and build a contender.  We shall see what loomis decides.

      Each team plays 17 games.  I do not see why they don't just have each team play one international game per year.  Neutral site game, 8 home, 8 away.
