Okay but you’re implying that if you like a guy you should take him at your spot even if that’s bad value. I’m saying smart teams don’t do that, even with guys who have MVP ceilings. 
 

None of these QBs appear to have that kind of ceiling, so it would be bad use of draft capital to take that approach

No, you are interpreting what I said incorrectly, hence why I clarified.

We need to trade down.

I still think thats the best solution. Penning, Raimann, Lucas and a few more all can be LTs and drafted in the teens later. I like the LT group, even a few later round maybes. Just too many panther holes....

I think there are some real teams that want to trade up. DE group is worth it. Johnson is red hot right now with talk of the giants using their 5th rather than risk waiting for the 7th.

If we trade back out of the top-10, I think our targets need to change. There isn't a LT worth, say, the 18th pick unless Cross REALLY slides. At that point we'd be much better off moving away from LT as our target position and onto something like MLB, where we'd be in perfect position to grab Devin Lloyd or Nakobe Dean.

The top 3 positions that get over drafted each year are

QB, the most important position

OT, the protector of the most important position

DE, the nemesis of the most important position

 

The trade down scenario will probably not involve a QB that someone wants to trade up for because none are all that impressive and can be had later.  OT is a deep group and the same applies.  But DE, there are 3 really good ones and then a major drop in talent.

Having the GA or Oregon kid there at 6 should generate some trade up offers.  My opinion for what it is worth

So then we agree that the optimum strategy is to trade back and take a LT and a QB if the cards fall right? Otherwise BPA?

If an elite LT or DE is available at 6, you do the smart thing and pull the trigger on those guys. You don't compound previous errors(wasting draft capital) by being cute and trying to gain back what you lost by making dumb mistakes.

If no elite LT or DE is available, then you try and trade down and see what happens.

If Icky or Neal are there, take them. If  Cross is there, entertain offers.

What's wrong with Cross in your opinion to not be worth the 6th pick? I Know he supposedly is great with pass protection but haven't heard much about his run protection. What's your thoughts on him as it sounds like you have researched into him and the others more than me.

It would be kind of silly but the Jets need a weapon badly for Zach but likely go D high at 4. 

Maybe they just give us our second rounder back & 10 (plus a mid-late rounder) for #6. They grab Garret Wilson ahead of NYG and ATL.

Corey Davis is good and Elijah Moore

      I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.

      This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.

      to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
