No need to be Envious of the Colts Deal

No one is lamenting passing on a trade down when there is as blue chip of a prospect as Ramsey available, and with such a drastic talent drop off after him too. Obviously in that circumstance you say no.

But Dave said he got offers to trade down in all of the Bortles, Fowler, and Fournette drafts (I can't remember any quotes about it from the Joeckel draft) and passed on them. In any of those cases it was pretty clear even at the time that none of them were can't miss blue chippers or that the fall off if you could trade down would be very steep, if at all. We can lament passing on those types of trade down offers for more pulls on the slot machine.
