Quote:Because value will be left on the board. If the rest of the league sees him as a 2nd rounder and we pick him at 3, we blew a scenario where we could have picked another player at 3 with proper value and still get Irvin in the late first by a small trade up.



Thank you. He gets it.

I love how you act like trade downs / trade ups are just automatic. I'd love to trade down and get the player. That's a given. I'm saying if a trade is not available, don't pass on "your" guy.


If the Jags draft player X at the top of the first round and he ends up being a HOFer, ask me how much care that he was drafted too early.


I know you and the other knee-jerk reactionists will cry about it until the cows come home, but I'm not as worried about that.


Sure, if you can trade down and get the best player on your board, have at it. But if you cannot, just get your player.


Ends justify the means sorta thing.
