Quote:I think people will be shocked with the number of picks we will have once the compensatory picks are added.

 

I my math is correct we should have 12 after compensatory picks (knighton, and cox) and assuming 2 picks from Baltimore for Monroe.

 

Hopefully 10 of those are in the first 5 rounds.

 

Actually it will probably be you that is shocked at the lack of compensatory picks, or at least good ones from the above list, given your tone up there....

 

Compensatory pick compensation is usually decided by how much $$ a player signs for with his new team when he leaves his former team via free agency. Other than Cox, who signed a modest deal, the rest were peanuts. We might get a 6th for Cox and MAYBE a couple 7ths for the others (and they might as well be UDFA's given they are at the end of the 7th)

 

Quote:I really want to see the exact picks we got. I hope it's not a 4 and 5. I'm hoping its 3 and 4.


Like I said earlier, I don't think you guys really understand how much better Bridgewater is going to make this team. I'm talking 6-10 wins better!

 

I do. But the idea is to stockpile higher draft choices to build around Bridge,.....late rounders aren't likely to amount to anything, unless you may strike lightning in a bottle with 1 or 2 at most. 

 

Quote:Yeah I don't think Teddy is on Luck's level prospect wise but he's right below. The only other prospect I can see being better than him in the future is Jameis Winston (why couldn't he be a RS Sophomore instead of a RS Freshman this year )

 

I don't see Winston being "better" than Teddy. As good? possibly....but Teddy is that good that there isn't much room for another prospect to be much better. 

Quote:Levi Brown was just traded to the Steelers, I'm interested to see what the Steelers gave up.

 

This ^^^^ 

 

Can't wait to find out, and then possible hear the excuses if its similar to Monroe's deal. 

Quote:This... plus, those jawing about how much we should have gotten for him were actually underestimating him before the trade.  They didn't fall in love with him until he's gone, and now they want something in return for him that couldn't be had.  Simply... delusional.

 

Taking the PFF rating of 10 for granted (not nitpicking it, but assuming it's fairly accurate)...

 

That simply means he's pegged right between the upper third and middle third of all LTs.

 

Good, but not great.  Still about six notches below Pro Bowl status.  Certainly not elite nor deserving elite compensation, particularly at his age.  A guy whose arrow certainly isn't pointing up.  He's as good as he gets, which isn't bad, but it's not going to get any better (no "elite" or Pro Bowl coming.)

 

I do agree with some of what you say here. 

 

I would not have been happy if it was the Jags giving Monroe a "max" long term deal next year becauseI don't think he's "elite".....but I just think theres a chasm between that & what we just got in return for Monroe - I think we could have done a bit better in compensation considering he's still pretty good, young & plays a premium position.
