Quote:I disagree. Good GM's do this all the time with their trade downs. They target an area of the draft where they believe a certain player they happen to like should fall to and trade down to that slot and stockpile extra picks in the process. 

 

In this case, taking AJ McCarron at 4 or 5 would be [BLEEP] or in other words - "Gene Smith-like GM'ing" . But trading down to 14 or so, lets you get the player at a more reasonable location as well as extra picks in the process. 

 

Well let's just inject your GM skills versus Caldwells. You said that if McCarron was Caldwell's guy then he should trade back because YOU think he's available in the mid 1st round but if Caldwell think he's worth a pick at 4th, say, then he's overpaying for him! If he's Caldwell's guy then Caldwell thinks he's WORTH THE PICK!!!

 

Do you still want the Jags to lose because "meaningless" wins will screw up the franchise for years? Simple yes or no will suffice.
