Telvin Smith called players only meeting last week

#44

Quote:What really hurt with Gene Smith was that we traded picks that were too valuable to move up. Like a future second rounder for a third round pick, or a second round pick to move up in the first.


Compare that with what Caldwell has done:


2013: No trade ups. Traded down once in the fourth.

2014: Traded a 5th round pick to turn a 3rd round pick into a 2nd round pick to get Allen Robinson. Then used a 6th round pick to turn a 4th into a 3rd. Gene Smith on the other hand turned a 2nd round pick into a 3rd round pick.

2015: Swapped places with the Jets for a 7th rounder

2016: Traded a 5th to move up a couple of spots to grab Myles Jack


When we've moved up under Caldwell, the price has been low. (Part of me wonders if trading Eugene Monroe created good will with the Ravens, which allowed us to get a more favorable trade here).


When we moved up under Gene Smith the price was too high. Gene fell in love with players, and other teams were able to ask what they wanted, because they knew they'd get it.


We've traded with the Ravens to get Jack so this has some merit. In the back of my mind though I wonder if they have some resentment towards the Jags because Monroe has been horrible in Baltimore. Lol.
