The Darnold Compensation is Now Official

Recommended Posts

Unsure how it will shake out career wise, but the compensation is now known with players, no longer future picks:

2021 6th:

Trey Smith OG Tennessee - This pick ended up being shipped to KC from NYJ.  It turned out pretty damn well but these are hit/miss and he fell due to medical.  We had a chance to draft him twice before this pick in the round.  It is simply not the trades fault, rather our own for not taking the chance instead of Deonte or Fletcher. 

2022 2nd (38):

Arnold Ebiketie EDGE ended up being picked by ATL at 38.  The Jets trade to NYG, the Giants trade it to Atlanta.  A developmental, slightly undersized edge rusher.  Boom/bust

2022 4th:

Max Mitchell OT ended up going to the Jets with their 4th rounder.  I liked him, has a lot of potential at RT or guard.  Developmental, will likely be a depth piece.

I will not provide much more commentary, but it is known.

Looking at that list, one can see why the Rams trade for proven players and ignore the casino that the draft is.

I guess trading for unproven players makes little more sense even if this was an all time miss. And regardless nothing excuses the option pick up.

    • Maybe a bit of a homer take but I can't give us a grade lower than A.   Freeling was arguably the best LT prospect in the draft.  His athletic ability is off the chart and at 6'7" that can move.  It was a no brainer pick.   Hunter's key word is Violence. Putting him next to Brown should scare an offensive coordinator. These two give Scourton and Phillips plenty of chances to get one on one opportunities. Brazzell, another tall receiver with sprinter speed.  Our WR room is filled with tall talented WR.  Brazzell is going to give us a WR that can take to roof off the defense.  Basically Jimmy Horn with size. W. Lee III has a nickname of the Blanket. (heard this on the Beleav podcast with J. Stewart)  What a great name.  A great value in the 5th round. Hecht A strong, fast and extremely smart center. Many had him listed as the best center in the draft.  He's most likely a starter sooner than later. Wheatley A good safety in round 5.  Someone who could see playing time.   Kuwatch  I love this pick.  At minimum he will be a key piece on special teams and with some good coaching he'll see some packages where he'll play.  His down piece is he doesn't stay up in the running game.  Good coaching will fix this.  He reminds me a bit of A.J. Klein.   All these picks were great value.  I believe everyone of them were graded higher than the pick we took them.   Dan Morgan is IMO doing a great job turning this team into a good team with great depth.
    • Moton is a class act.  
    • Sure, that is possible. That’s what, an extra 55 yards a game on average and 7 more TDs? What if he’s just 15th?  I imagine they would extend him in that situation due to the belief that he’ll keep trending up. maybe a 3 year contract to prove he can be top 10? Sounds like a Tepper plan.
