3rd best trade in 11 years???!


Recommended Posts

This can’t be said for any previous GM but Fitty raped the Texans.  We knew it was a good trade.  But how good??


The total sum value of the trade is the 3rd best trade since 2011.  
 

It’s at the 11 min mark. Yeah I know it’s PFF. 
 

The one mistake he made is that the pick is Rams 4th that the Texans had in 2022 I think. But the value that he states is still the same because they are grading as if it is a middle of round 4 pick in 2022.  
 

I am enjoying the new strategy in team building.  They old way killed our depth.

I dont know about that, but It was a eye opener for me and the only one I was like "Id do that", You are right about the future 4th being the rams pick, but my god they play in a insane division and could easily go 7-10 while playing well. Id like to get the roster to the point of only needing like 3-4 rookies too, so the focus would be trading up than back. Even that one trade up was nothing but a late 6th to get your main/last OT target. 

Thats why at drafts end I dubbed thee "The Finesser"

Im about 95% sure its the rams pick, seen it somewhere during the draft and details were its the rams pick. @Mr. Scot do you remember the details?

From Gantt's war room article...

The Texans called, offering their fourth-rounder and a 2022 fourth-rounder to move up from 109 to 89. Having given up their own fourth in the deal for quarterback Sam Darnold, the Panthers were immediately intrigued. Then came the haggling. Looking for more value, the Panthers asked which fourth the Texans were offering, their own or the Rams pick acquired in a previous trade. If the Panthers were willing to take the Rams' pick, there was going to need to be more stuff included.

"There's a lot going on at the time," Burke said with a laugh, in the understatement of the night.

Tepper, Fitterer, Rhule, and cornerbacks coach Evan Cooper were standing by Stewart and Suleiman's side-by-side desks, on a call with the Texans. Things were being discussed. It didn't appear to be going well. Burke had a player's name on a card, ready to make a selection at 89.

Eventually, the two sides started speaking the same language, and the deal was made. The Panthers picked up an extra fifth-rounder and the all-important future fourth (the Rams version), giving them five picks on Saturday, and wrapping things up for a night.

So, they got 89, and we got 109 (which we traded for 126, 166, and 232 / Hubbard, Taylor, Hoskins), their 5th (# 158 / Nixon), AND the Rams 2022 4th round pick.

Yeah.  Texans got Nico Collins at 89. 
And we turned that into the above. 4 players and a 4th next year.

I can get behind that deal all day! I think Hubbard and Nixon will contribute this year and we recouped our 2022 4th for Darnold. Now, let's all hope the Rams are awful this year.

It's hard to tell about Hubbard.  The only clips they had of him were when he was in high school.  I think he was a shot in the dark.

Nevermind..... I was thinking Hoskins..

Yeah I loved the Hubbard pick.

Sorry about that. 

I think the plan last year was to let Davis take a little of the load off CMC, until CMC got hurt and Davis ran his ass off and we couldn't afford to keep him. Hubbard slides immediately into that role, IMO. Nice to keep a bit of the wear and tear off of our $64M man.

    • Can't keep pining for what never happened....but for god sakes, DeJean, Frazier... and we got this dude in a R1 trade up.  The most notable blunder of this era, that's for sure. 
    • Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others.
