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.

      Smith Sr. & Zierlein discuss their top 10 WRs

      By top dawg · Posted

      Any QB worth his weight in gold is going to get his guys the ball. Of course he has to have the protection, coaching and experience to do that. Moreover, it has yet to be determined what type of situation this is for a rookie wideout. The most important thing that will determine that is coaching.

      Smith Sr. & Zierlein discuss their top 10 WRs

      By rayzor · Posted

      I watched it this afternoon and I thought some of the best discussions was before it even got to the players. One thing that really jumped out to me was when Smitty was asked about how things have changed since he played and the thing he talked about was how when he played and going back to Jerry Rice says, the #1 targeted or looked to receiver was always the X and there's still a lot of people who's minds are still stuck in that idea. But what has happened is that the, what he calls, the F receiver...the flanker...is now the go to guy. You need the X to try and get safeties out of the box, but the QB is now looking for his flanker most of the time. Lots of good discussions all through it, but for some reason the ones involving Ladd, Corley, and Leggette was the most interesting. Ladd was how he may be best fit for just the slot, but he's the best slot guy in the draft and he's just a guy who gets open and doesn't drop the ball. Corley and Leggette are playmakers who are at a risk of being pigeonholed. Leggette is too stiff to be a slot guy but he can do things like Metcalf. Corley is likely to be used much as he was in college, as the big playmaker you just get the ball in his hands however you can, but he's got a lot of room for development as a receiver. It's just good football talk all the way through

      I'd resigned myself to 2000 and never.   Cautiously optimistic based on this off season that 2026 is a real possibility.
