Theilen, at this point in his career, should be that guy who comes in on third and eight and gets you nine yards every time. That kind of player has insane value in the league and it's well within what he is still capable of. -

Rewatched again - and noticed some fun stuff-- Then they claimed that we started engaging once Ez and JTT were picked in a row at 44-45, so LAR, AZ, HOU, CIN, & SEA were the teams we likely called before the deal at 51 w/Denver. Brandt goes "I texted John an offer" that's either John McKay, the Asst GM of LAR or John Schneider of SEA. I think it was SEA, we had likely exhausted enough energy with LAR. So my read is we said no to a trade at 50 that was in SEA's favor, and worked with DEN to get a really balanced package. Strong work there not submitting to the Seahawks wishes. Then, once the focus got to the next pick - I found it super interesting. We knew we wanted Princely - There were a few strongly identified targets by the sounds of it beginning in the 60s but Princely was the guy we really wanted. The video was edited A LOT so that a lot of the calls and negotiations were shown before/during/after Nic's pick. Targeting him was as soon as KC at 66 (from Sneed), or BUF's new spot at 72 as they showed us calling them and negotiating. Beane wanted 114+85 for 72 which is dead even on trade charts, but Dan didn't want to just give up 114 to move up. He emphasized to "Stay patient" which was good. Sounds like SF apparently wanted even more for 75. Our unnamed prospect tier was now down to 2 guys - Brandt asked about their odds at 85. Those odds were now 41%. You hear in the back "They've got 3 threes" -that was NE. And, we are clearly, very tight with Wolff in NE. He called us ahead of pick 77 to negotiate that one. With their pick abundance, we were able to work out a more favorable deal. 77 for 85 and 146 (5). Not bad at all compared to giving up 85 and 114 (4) for 72 and getting the same guy. That's how you don't overdraft. -
ands speaking of Thundercat collaborations... what a group! Domi & JD Beck is a lot of fun to watch. for me anyways... seriously talented kids.
