Monroe trade is quietly looking better.....shhhh......


Quote:impressive bump

 

Id take Joekel, Robinson and Linder over Monroe and Ziggy all day. 
 

The 5th round pick was part of the deal to move up and get Allen Robinson, but it was a minor part of the deal. Some other very good WRs (and maybe even Robinson) would have been available had Caldwell not traded up. The other pick was used on Colvin. 
Neither pick in the trade up to get Linder was from the Ravens.

 

Monroe is better than Joeckel. He looked really good for the Ravens tonight, and they also use a zone-blocking scheme. And Caldwell could have used the Joeckel pick on a different player. Trading down to the middle of the 1st and getting Reid, Jarvis Jones, or one of the DTs plus extra picks was a possibility. It was a weak draft and Joeckel wasn't the worst 1st rounder, but Caldwell could have done better by trading down. Don't claim that it's impossible to trade down, Miami jumped up to the very next pick trading picks 12 & 42.


 

In 2013: Keep Monroe. Sign Andre Smith as a free agent. Trade down to the middle of round 1. End up with two solid OTs and a building block on defense.
