For those that are ignant like me, what does conditional mean?

A conditional pick hedges on the traded player meeting certain standards. For example, a team could trade a third round pick that turns into a second if that player makes the Pro Bowl.

If he works out, what's wrong with it? Nothing. Former Top 5 pick playing with the Jets who thought that hiring Adam Gase was a good idea. You saw what happened when Tannehill finally got out from under him right?

If anything, the picks are worth the development time either way. 

I prefer Darnold to everyone in this draft not named Trevor Lawrence. 

Thank you! Is Sam Darnold better than who you possibly could have drafted at 8? And he's in the last year of his deal! He's going to be playing for that 5th year option, so you may get the best out of him. Seems like a solid move to me. Now, just hang in at 8 and get elite talent to continue to build the roster.

Tepper did not want Teddy on this team period. This makes that possible regardless of the draft.

If true, it is pretty scary that the owner is this involved. Tepper needs to trust the people he hired to be the football experts and stay out of their way.

Future picks are low in value for a reason.

This.  Discounted for next year, this is the 2021 equivalent of a 3rd and 5th.  
Get back to me during training camp when we can see if Rhule and Brady can coach him up, along with the possible beneficial impact of whomever we draft this year.  Bet there is some OL help coming in the early rounds of this draft.

    • I agree. I’d make the move because I don’t see us sniffing the playoffs and let’s be honest TMac, Legette and Coker better be our top 3 future. If they aren’t and we need Thielen to replace one of them, then we need to draft yet another 1st round WR, SMH. Suffice it to say, Thielen isn’t good enough to get us into the playoffs so let’s get the young guys starting so we know if they aren’t good enough. We still have so many assumptions about whether players are who we need them to be that holding onto Thielen for 3-7 wins isn’t worth passing on a mid round pick (3rd to 5th/swaps). We’ve had some success with later round picks/UDFAs and need depth.
    • If you move Thielen I think you almost have to keep Renfrow. You need some sort of veteran presence in the locker room and Renfrow would be good insurance in the slot. I'm sure we have Coker penciled in to start there but you also have to be keeping Coker in the back of your head as XL insurance on the outside if he doesn't step up. If he flounders again, I wouldn't wait too awfully long to replace him with Coker outside and slide Renfrow into the slot and keep it moving. 
    • Playing the same role is different than having the same style.  Cam Newton and Drew Brees both played QB but arent the same type in any way.
