Apparently, Horn was always the pick

Well counter to Tepper reportedly wanting Fields, he looked pretty on board. 

Time will tell with this one.  Maybe Sewell being off the board saved a potential Horn over Sewell scenario from melting this board into oblivion lol.

 

Fields was always a smokescreen. You don't trade that much for a guy and start running a marketing campaign with him for him not to be the guy.

Rhule has also said that when Fit was chosen as the GM that he needed some who was a great talent evaluator to help him make the right choices on personnel based on what he wanted in the player/position.   So with that being said I'm sure that Fits laid out to him where the guys "should" be taken based on position value.  That's how it should work.

I got the sense that’s exactly how the dynamic works between them and I like it.

This pick should assuage fears of Tepper meddling. 
Tepper apparently is just talk when it comes to getting a franchise QB. 

I worry about this not working and Tepper going full Jerry Jones in a couple of years.

That is how is supposed to work and I think we finally have the right balance to do a better job of building a consistently competitive team.  Time will tell I suppose.  I do know that I personally think that this approach will pay off when it's all said and done.  I just wish Tepper had hired Fits a year or two sooner.

They should release the footage of 10 minutes before when they were all yelling obscenities because of the Lions.

I would love to see that myself.  I'm sure that they had a contingency plan if that happened.  They tried to get a trade done that they could live with that would keep them within the top 15 that would still give the a chance to take either Horn or someone else they had in their top 15 or 16 and add some more picks.  I think we got one of the top 3 needed positions addressed at least.

You don't trade the equivalent of our third round pick this year for a guy and not make him the guy?

I mean...

Eeeehhh, maybe. We don't really know what Rhule said to him. Could have been something as simple as "we really like you".

Reports confirm that we did take trade down offers.

We did take trade offers, but none of them were sufficient to kiss Horn goodbye.

Exactly.  The risk of losing a top prospect was too great to not get a much better offer to offset the loss.  I like that approach myself.  They are playing chess, not pickup sticks.

    • Yes, but those guys aren't depth guard signings, they're likely going to wait and see who has injuries or players under performing and then sign there. I also think that if Ickey really is going to be able to play at some point this year, that's where our guard depth comes from.  As if he gets to the point of being active, we'd then have 3 LT's on the roster with him, Freeling, and Walker, gotta think one of them not named Freeling gets kicked inside if needed.
    • lol imagine being Hill and this is what your coach thinks about you replacing a guy giving up over 4 goals per game.
    • I don't think Tyreek is a bad player to play with on the field, for sure not in the same way that Diggs is, as he's a cancer on the field with how he acts, and wouldn't take kindly to being 2nd fiddle behind T-Mac. It's that Tyreek is just a terrible person who realistically shouldn't even be in the NFL, his insane athletic ability is why his off field transgressions have been overlooked.  If he was a WR3, no team would have kept him around, it was only that he was a 1st ballot HOF level talent that kept him around. Just zero interest in having a person like that around our young WRs, that's really all it comes down to for me with him. Again, if we were true contenders this year, that changes things and I'd rather bring in the best possible players and hope it works out.  But they're trying to build something here and to do that, you need high quality people, not just great talent.
