I'm in EW. It used to be a lot nicer. 

I've spent a decent amount of time in your area. Used to have a major distributor based in Spokane and several key accounts in western Montana. I'd always either fly into Spokane or Billings and out the other hitting Missoula, Helena, Bozeman, and Kalispell in between. Made the haul out to Dry Falls once just to see it because my flight left in the mid-afternoon and I'd already wrapped up everything I needed to do. Cool thing to see but not the best of drives between there and Spokane. Reminds me of southern Idaho. That drive between Boise and Pocatello is BRUTAL.

I wasn't the biggest Howell fan, but the guy was leading the NFL mid-season in yards until the wheels came off. This was another steal by the Seahawks in terms of value, they don't have the ammo to reach the top 3 and Howell did show he could be an NFL QB while on a rookie deal.

I don't know if the math per that chart value is correct but if it is it's safe to just disregard that value chart moving forward. In no universe would you be able to trade 102 + 179 + 199 for 78 and 152.

Using the standard trade chart you'd land at a 70ish point difference, the equivalent of a mid-4th.

*Okay, went and looked at that draft value chart and didn't bother doing the math because the chart is laughably absurd. According to that chart you could trade up from #32 to #22 in the 1st round simply by tossing in the last pick of the draft. It wildly overvalues late round picks. That chart is trash.

So he dropped in value after playing a year?

So according to the "Fitzgerald-Spielberger Trade Value Chart" they had Sam Howell valued at 199 points. Basically the value of pick 251 (late 7th) in the draft. 

Just food for thought from someone who knows..that makes sense.

https://landryfootball.com/explaining-draft-trade-charts-read-online-bogus-free/

"Essentially, the chart attempts to quantify the value of each pick, with the No. 1 pick valued at 3,000 points, the No. 10 pick at 1,300 points and just 100 points for the No. 100 pick.

Want to trade from No. 10 to No. 8? Well, the No. 8 pick is worth 1,400 points and No. 10 is worth 1,300 points so an early fourth-round pick worth about 100 points should do the trick.

"The problem with this is that draft picks by themselves are USELESS. It’s the player you can acquire with that pick that is USEFUL. For example, saying the first pick is worth 3000 points every year is beyond ridiculous. It is worth as much as the player you can acquire with that pick. From year to year the top pick in the draft is valued differently depending on the quality of the player. The same for the 2,d, 3rd, 5th, 10th, 100th, 250th.

"So, unless trade charts are adjusted each year and take into account how many players you have graded at each level in your draft board, they ae not useful from year to year. If you have 5 players graded 6.9, then the 6th pick value drops much lower than the value between picks/players 4 & 5. Same thing for the number of players given grades correlating to the first round, second round all the way through the seventh round."

Hang on, I re-read this. At first I was reading it as a defense of the initial value chart the other poster used that was wildly off what we see on reality. That was confusing because I was reading it like... I mean, they're basically saying the same thing I am so how in the hell are they defending the idiocy in that other draft value chart??? lol

Draft value charts are rough estimates. Nothing more, nothing less. The standard chart is the standard because year over year it's usually in the ballpark. Likely because most teams are using it as a guideline.

Both Howell and Fields can be had for peanuts and both showed more than Darnold ever did. This dumbass organization traded a freaking 2nd rounder away and then picked up his option smfh

They better be right about Bryce. Because these are the type of buy low trades for young QB’s I can get behind. The draft is pretty weak QB wise next year so prices for guys like Howell and Fields might not be so cheap next year

It blows my mind how some guys just get opportunity after opportunity after opportunity despite being terrible. It's like front office types liked them as prospects, thought they were going to be good, they look like players, they have the measurables of players, this guy should be a player. So they just get chance after chance after chance because they just won't let reality unseat their prior opinion.

We're kinda seeing it with Bryce right now. The jury is still out they say. If Bryce had been treated like practically every other QB prospect where they get nitpicked to death leading up to the draft the narrative would've been littered with questions about his size about his arm talent, etc. But it was just brushed aside. I've never seen so many red flags just get brushed aside because people had convinced themselves that a guy was special.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      If Canales comes back and Bryce doesn’t I would probably prefer to bring in 3 guys he likes from around the league or maybe outside a top ten pick and work through them, give that a shot. Because if we win a few more games we won’t be in the running for the top rated QB prospects anyway.

      There’s too many to reply to so I’ll just say a couple more things then I’m out: 1. It hasn’t been both ways and that’s the point. People saying stuff like “too bad Bryce Young didn’t make that tackle” is a direct result of the ridiculousness of blaming Bryce Young for literally everything. I remember one game day thread a poster unironically blamed Bryce Young for JT Sanders flipping onto his own neck and injuring himself. That post was pied. I literally just read a post blaming Bryce Young for XL dropping a ball on a would-be game winning drive last year. This past week, when Tmac bounced a ball off his hands for an interception, Bryce Young was immediately blamed in the game day thread. Alternatively, people who try to give credit to Bryce Young are immediately told that to credit Bryce Young is taking away credit from Rico Dowdle, OL, whoever, and that they shouldn’t be talking positively about Bryce Young because he doesn’t deserve any credit. 2. Yes, there have always been bad posters, the difference is that back then they were largely derided. Bryce Young’s rookie season, when many of us were simply pointing at the train wreck of the whole team and saying it was maybe a little tough to evaluate Bryce Young when he had no time to throw and slow receivers, and just saying basic stuff like “Bryce Young can physically throw the ball further than 20 yards.” There was an attempt made to limit all those opinions to a single thread, by a mod. This is like saying lunatics running the asylum is normal because there have always been lunatics in the asylum. The difference is before they were patients, now they’re in charge. 3. I know for a fact I am labeled as one of the “Bryce Stans” by many of the usual suspects, but the fact of the matter is they have no idea what my position is on Bryce Young because any attempts at nuanced discussion in the past have been so completely pointless due to never being able to get past the hyperbole. How can we have a serious conversation if you insist he is physically incapable of throwing a football 20 yards? Or if you insist that he somehow duped the Panthers into drafting him just by drinking water? Or if you insist that he should be able to succeed behind one of the worst offensive lines I’ve ever seen (rookie year, not now). And I’m not the only one, there are many who have left the huddle because of it and started a discord server, I’m just too lazy for another app.
