Quote:You seem to be on an island when it comes to Mack. This is nothing at all like Gene Smith because Mack is not Alualu. Mack is widely considered a top 5 pick. Alualu was not. I understand your idea of getting the most value for your pick but most people feel that Mack is hitting the value at 3 perfectly where you feel like he should be taken somewhere between 6-10. Its just a difference of a players rating here.

 

We are running in circles because you tend to think Mack is not top 5 material where as 85% or more of the sports world feels he is. If we can trade down, great. But if we can't? And Clowney and Watkins are gone, we should take Mack.

 

Is it the exact same scope as Alualu? No. But it is still the same concept IMO. The Jags can still trade down, accumulate picks and get a player just as good in the 5-10 range, maybe still even get Mack there, but even if its not Mack, an equally talented player will be there, but you would be gaining value with the extra picks obtained in the trade down, rather than just taking Mack at 3 because you fell in love with the player.
