fug Fitzpatrick. Could easily see Tampa nabbing him instead of James and if they do that, we need to be concerned with moving up. I just have a strong feeling Hurney makes this happen. 

Dude the Derwin James infatuation is getting old, we are not giving up that much to get him. Isn't there someone else you can see us actually drafting and not dreaming about.

Looking at the trade value chart, a jump like that is around 310 points.  Our second round pick is 350 points.  My guess is we'd have to get rid of our second, which ain't happening.

Have you met Marty Hurney? He'll give up a 2nd and one of our 3rds. And maybe next year's first.

God, I hate trade ups. With the hit rate in the draft, you maximize your number of picks, controlling for round of course. Law of large numbers people.

This draft has three rounds of quality players. No point trading away a potential starter for a marginally better player. Got some Hurney jrs. up in this mug.

After Hurney's failed trades in the past you can bet he is sticking at 24 and getting the most bang for his buck. 

Yep!  When he signed back with us, he said one of the things he learned from watching Gettleman is to be patient.  So, I don't think you will see him revert and panic by trading a valuable asset to move up.

There are pro bowl caliber safeties still on the market. Safeties are going to fall like rocks and idt anyone is going up to get them. I’m starting to think guys like Tony Pauline may be right...I also think that if it’s down to James and one of the corners that hurney likes...he’s gonna go corner. Fitzpatrick is another story bc he can play essentially any position in the secondary. I just don’t see Hurney spending a 1st on a true safety when guys like Boston, Reid are still out there. Corner is much more valuable.

Maybe I’m naive, but I think a 3rd can do it. If we trade up, i think it’ll be for DJ Moore. We’d have to jump Dallas to get him. 

 

That’s the only scenario I can see us trading up

We don't like DJ Moore as much as everyone thinks we do.

Hurney is trading next years 1st

Please don’t even joke about this.  It’s I still have nightmares about not having a first round pick two drafts in a row and nothing to show for it.

Normally I agree but James is a physical anomaly and worth a first rounder. I would pick a corner over any other safety in the first.

    • Darrell Jackson would be a fantastic pickup for us, I think he could replace 80% of what A’Shawn gave us last year. With more passing rush upside going forward in the future, I’m a big proponent of large framed defensive tackles. Pairing Derrick Brown with another 6’5 35inch arm length DT would be so fun to watch. Let’s continue being huge in the middle, allow our linebackers to flow to the ball uninterrupted.
    • Fully agree that the best thing to do is ignore them, which takes a away their thrill of thinking they got to you.
    • I agree with you on the pick of Thienemen in the first. I think he will still be there and he's a smart, fast and sturdy player. He's who we need back there. In the second, I like Rodriguez over Golday. I agree that off the ball linebackers are desperately needed here, even with our great FA pick up. I think with our third pick, we're going to dip into OT territory instead of the D-line. While I agree that we need another disruptor at the point of attack that is stout enough to just stonewall a center and a guard at the same time, we've got a shaky and expensive O-line at the present that is just about to age out of the game. I think we snag Blake Miller out of Clemson here and give him a year behind Moton to learn and put some weight and strength on. He can also jump right in and play right guard at any time. Also, and this might sound crazy, but anyone who has put up with multiple seasons at Clemson will be able to take the heat and humidity of training camp at the start of the season and early games against the NFCSouth.  Beyond that, your guess is as good as mine. We do need that QB for competition and realistically to study for back-up. Luke Altmyer out of Illinois seems to fit the mold of the point guard type QB that they want from Bryce. That'd make an apples to apples situation that could make coaching and game planning easy. On the other hand North Dakota State's Cole Payton could be an intriguing choice as well as a big dual threat guy. Both could be there for our fourth pick or both could be gone. Will QBs continue to slide this season like last? Who knows?
