Don't trade away future 1st & 2nd round picks for players that all 31 teams have already passed on

Especially in 2013 because trade ups are usually reaches, and trade backs allows quality players to fall to you if you are not targeting one player or position. (run-on sentences were not prohibited, nor were parethetical afterthoughts)

because tampa trading back up to get doug martin after they got barron was a horrible bust.

My reply was more targeted at the first post but I only added you cause you called them mostly reaches. Chill out.

I think a general rule is not to act like a troll and then tell someone to chill out for reacting to the tension you caused. I was calm, just slowly shaking my head at your need to disprove that which you did not understand.

In general, a team moves up to address one particular need (or to get a particular player they fell in love with) before someone else with a similar need picks. That is reaching, most of the time. By trading down, however, a team is willing to drop and usually takes the best player available at several positions. These teams usually has several needs, but not necessarily. These teams have gotten better value, historically--not better players---better value.

Even with your example, the Bucs took Barron very high (considered by many to be a mid to low first rounder, but the market for S caused them to reach above other teams--the Panthers included--who might have taken a Safety). ,Martin had a good year, but their need at RB caused them to reach in the draft to get him--most sources had him low first round, early second. The fact that he had a good year does not mean that the Bucs did not reach--it meant they got lucky. Value in the 2012 draft is not based on performance in the 2012 season. So, your point reveals 2 reaches.

      https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/48344034/nfl-begin-hiring-replacement-officials-given-state-negotiations-nfl-referees-association   Honestly fug these refs and their union. Resisting changes that would actually incentivize good performance and not seniority based systems. What a bunch of donkeys. Hope the replacements straight up take their jobs and never give them back. Sick of watching refs script games with no repercussions.

      Donovan seems like highest risk to me. Lloyd and May have already established relationships with all these kids. There’s probably guys hitting the portal that they recruited from HS. And then there’s the possibility of transferring their own guys from their current teams. They’ve also been recruiting the HS kids for like the next 5 years already. Look at the Iowa coach who hit the ground running by transferring all his guys from his D2 program. Or going across sports to Cignetti transferring all his JMU guys year one then building off that to a national title year 2. Donovan is starting from square one having been in the NBA so long and he’s already 60. So you’re potentially punting year 1 for a guy you are just hoping to be a 10 year hire while you figure out how to actually develop your next home grown 20yr guy. That’s 1/10th of the time you have him, more or less at best. The hope would be that he would find some high level assistants who have been working the college recruiting trails already, but then are you giving up his ideal staff just to get a foothold in recruiting and transfers. Think Belichick year one was bad? Imagine how much worse it would be without Steve Belichicks transfer portal pulls. Hoping Mays or Lloyd are all they’re cracked up to be.
