Quote:Do you have any evidence supporting that the Miami offered that to move up to 2 in that draft?  We know they were willing to move to three, but do we have any definitive proof they offered that to us at 2, or that Caldwell would have taken that deal if offered?  For that matter, do we have any indicia Jacksonville would have taken Richardson or Lotuleilei there at 12?
 

I doubt Miami made the offer. Caldwell was allowed to make such an offer himself, he didn't have to sit on his hands and hope that some other team would call.
 He himself said that he won't initiate a trade down, the request has to come from the other team. So opportunities are missed, and will continue to be missed.

 

I have no idea who the Jags would have taken at 12 had the trade been made. I just plugged in the best two of the next three picks that year. Caldwell has been a very good judge of talent, so it's reasonable to think he'd pick a good player in that scenario.


 

I like Caldwell and have been very impressed with his drafting. But he's not a shrewd trader, and has never traded down. In the end, picking the right guy is a lot more important than getting top value. I just believe he could have done even better.
