There's just that herd mentality that once one team pulls the trigger, the rest follow pretty quickly. Its a QB league, if you donot have a good 1 its really hard if not impossible to win...so teams who donot have 1 are always looking to find 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Bears are the new Benny Hill music of the NFL. Jets got a good one I'm sad to say. KC did something kind of silly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'7' Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Dolphins actually got a guy the Jets really wanted. Jets were trying to keep it quiet but I believe when it came to interviews and workouts Harris was top of the list. Though I don't know what they were waiting for. Harris is a tremendous talent and if the Jets were thinking he may drop into round 2...it just wasn't going to happen. You had to jump up and trade for him Very happy with Jamal Adams. I think he's absolutely a complete, impact safety who can come in and play in the NFL right away and be a difference maker. No holes in his game. A true leader and somebody who always gives max effort. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not kidding...the 49ers gotta be loving this...they not only get the player they wanted anyway, but they get what amounts to three free picks out of the whole thing. Lynch already looks like a genius, lmao. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redruM Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Love the Adams pick, really I did not understand the trades for any of the QBS. And the experts are clueless, most had Howard going top 10, and D heavy picks early, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevs4978 Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 And to top that off the Bears JUST gave Glennon a big deal. To do that and trade for Trubinsky in the same offseason is mind boggling. Talk about being desperate times ten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What other explanation is there? Listening to various people on the radio, it appears that the Bears can cut Glennon next year with very little pain. So I guess they really liked Trubitsky and want him to sit for a year. That's not the worst plan in the world, it's just looks like they got seriously played in giving up all that to move up one spot when they really didn't have to. You hear that the Bears got the sense that someone else was trying to trade up into that pick, but logic dictates that it had to be a smoke screen, or at least whoever else might have wanted to move up to that spot was not going to draft Trubitsky as it been a hell of a lot to get a non-sure thing QB.

Guy calls in and says not much wrong about the Jets pick. Beningo says: "it's the Jets, what possibly could go wrong??" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Is there an unwritten rule against lying about the interest other teams have in your draft pick? I've heard different things, but it sounds like Lynch pretty much lied to Chicago about being in talks with other teams, or at least really exaggerated it.

I'm sure it's done a lot but how would you ever get found out/called on it? Unless you specifically said team X made you an offer and they publicly deny it maybe.

Daniel Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 What is it with the Bengals and criminals? (Joe Mixon). And they don't even really need a running back that bad. Maybe they really, really love criminals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'7' Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 It's an actual strategy they employ. Draft/sign talented but troubled players and hope more often than not they work out...because when they do you have an enormous steal and bargain on your hands. And when they don't, just pray they don't kill somebody It's a way that they, in a small and generally undesirae market, can build a talented and competitive team on the cheap.

There's no such thing as a small market team in the NFL, at least in the sense that there are teams that can't afford to spend money on talent. I saw something on twitter that the guy was only on five teams' boards. To quote a Seinfeld episode, that's bad, even by rat hat standards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, they had reason to cut him based on last year's performance and some other issues...he was late to a meeting and fined and de-activated against the Giants, and fumbled three times on the season (losing two of them). But let's face it, they cut him as a "last straw" move based on something Whitehead clearly didn't do. ADMIT IT. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
