Remove Otah and you have a point. This trading next years pick for this year has bit us in the ass too many times. The Armanti trade will go down as Fox's biggest boneheaded move while he was still the coach. That is going to be a high second round pick we need badly.

If Armanti turns into a starting receiver is it a boneheaded pick?

Do you KNOW that he will? Do I KNOW he wont?

until then, it is an unknown.... not a boneheaded pick, yet.

I am all for judging picks and calling them good or bad, but lets judge players who have played for a few seasons before judging whether it was a good pick or bad.

If we spend a 1st round pick on a guy that's never played football in his life is that a bad pick? What about if eventually, through a couple years of development, he turns into a good player?

It's a bad trade/pick because AE is such a huge project and you just don't use the 33rd-35th overall pick on that big of a project. You just don't, regardless of how it ends up.

And I'm not anywhere near close to giving up on AE, I hope he works out.

If he turns out to be the next Steve Smith I will eat my words but from what I have seen he is going to take a while to develop. You don't trade away second round picks for a player that is going to take a while to contribute. For what we have given up we should have a starting player on the field right now. It was a boneheaded pick and 90% of the non Armanti homers on the board will agree. If he were taken in a later round with no picks given up then I could deal with that.

Just a difference in opinion... I am more of the 'wait and see before I criticize'.

Everyones different :)

I am too. Everyone on this board thinks they are an expert. In reality, no one knows anything. And the majority of the stuff on this board is wrong or don't come true. Hell the league taught Brad Smith how to play the position. Hines Ward too... In fact there is a list of guys that made the transition. So why come up here and bitch about the unknown?

Um, Hines Ward was always a receiver...

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By strato · Posted

      Yep. I was hoping for and calling for a day three guy. But I didn’t research the position to say if we should or should‘t have jumped at a particular guy at a particular spot.    And everything I read said it was a poor draft for RBs depth wise. I guess when Seattle takes a backup RB in the 1st, that kind of backs that up.    I definitely think we should keep 4 running backs and if King can play well enough then keep him too.    I believe I heard Canales say we are a running team (talking about drafting a WR he will be needing to block as well as catch). Well if we are gonna be a running team by identity we don’t need to stock the WR room to overflowing. If one room has to sacrifice, it should not be the RB room given our circumstances.

      Dan had a great draft

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.
