"Frank Alexander was a guy, that if, if we could uh, he was the one guy we had, the one guy that we had that, if we could get in the fourth we were going to make a trade."

problem is they better be worth a 3rd, which is a valuable piece of ammo and gone for a 4th round rookie.

we got Greg Olsen for a 3rd, we've drafted guys like Smith and CJ in the 3rd.....these guys better be good.

Joe Adams, wasn't he projected higher than a 4th?

It was for both actually. They wanted both of them at that point but only were going to be able to grab one (likely Adams), so they made the trade to get both guys they had graded in that range. Not seeing the problem here....

Greg Olsen doesn't happen very often for 3rd.. he was a 1st round talent that we shafted the Bears for a 3rd..

and every player better be good, but fact is teams barely hit on 50% of their picks so you can pretend next year's 3rd would be a guaranteed good player or realize the truth is 3rd rounders are hit and miss like Frank Alexander is.. They did their due diligence, you can question it, that's fine, but don't get too mad over it.. lol

What I want to see with trades like this is whether or not they believe the guy theyre trading for is better than anyone who would likely be there in the round they trade out of next year. They believed that with Otah, and that was probably a fair assessment. But they also believed that with Everette Brown as well. We shall see which camp Frank falls into in time.

    • These kickers are getting so good
    • They're pretty far off, double T-Mac's stats to get to the same targets as XL and it would be 4 drops to 7.  A 3 drop difference might not sound like a lot, but it's still almost twice as many drops on the same number of targets. Not to mention, if I remember correctly, XL's drop problems last year seemed more down field, where he was dropping passes he should be making and it was clear his poor hands were there reason he dropped them. And weren't both of T-Mac's drops this year on quick hitters with blockers out in front of him?  I know at least the second one was as he was going to go for a huge play and maybe a TD on it. To me, and yes, I'd say this about any other player, those are drops because a rookie was trying to do too much in making a play before securing the catch.  Much easier to improve upon a lapse in concentration than dropping passes because you have bricks for hands and body catch more often than hands catch, like with XL. And yes, 100%, which is why I wasn't one of those people you were referring to with talking about him that way last year.  Yes, I said he had drop problems., because he did, but I didn't think they were unsolvable and expected to see great improvement this year after an offseason of hitting the juggs machine (unfortunately not sure that happened though).
