It was Eric the pff guy.  He controlled a lot of our draft this year.  He has stated before you give up picks to trade up for QB specifically, any other positions you do pick swaps.

That's really great to hear and would explain the wonderful construction of the trade itself. We moved back in rounds 3,4,5 and moved up in round 6. Clearly we believed there was depth in talent and going back a few spots would not be a big deal. Not enough is being made about this specific trade. You may see more trades like this one next year.

Even beyond this place, the entire world was convinced it was Walker.

The day of the draft I was listening to a radio show and they were talking about how unpredictable this draft was going to be, that nobody really knew what was going to happen and that anyone betting on the draft was dumb and throwing their money away.

At the end of the segment the guy said something like, "well, everything we just talked about is true, but if anyone wants some free money tonight, there is one guaranteed surefire pick, go put your bets in right now, Jalon Walker is 100% going 8th to the Panthers."

lesson here (imo) is that anytime someone tells you a bet on the board in Vegas is a 100% lock, run far away. somebody is betting the other side of that and wants your money.

      Yeah the only way current set up is fun is if every year a different tiny school builds a super team and makes a run. You just need 1 rich guy to say you know what would be funny, if I drop 30 million and my school has a shot at a national championship.   They won't ever do it but put some sort of tiered salary cap in place and sign them to 4 year deals. You can only transfer up or down tiers no lateral moves because mean ole coach at texas doesn't play me enough so I'm going to Tennessee. So a player at prairie view can transfer to texas and get paid more or a player from UNC can transfer to UNCG because he isn't getting playing time. If a guy is transferring "up" he can get a salary bump if the team has salary cap space. A guy transferring down has to stay at the same salary as he signed his 4 year deal for so the lower tier team would have to have the cap space to sign him. It would stop the money chasing for lateral moves but allow guys who improve massively at lower schools to make more money as juniors and seniors and hopefully keep more guys in one place because the contract is for 4 years.
