    He knows, he fancies himself a comedian and we're a semi-captive audience.

    No, I'm just trying to hide the fact that I didn't know it started at 8:00 and not 7:00.

    That's the sweet spot for Odunze if he falls. Gotta get in front of the Jets if we want him. Our 2nd this year plus our 1st next year should get it done.

    I could see the jets buying and flipping picks with the bears to flip it one more time.

    Chris Trappaso (CBS) made a good point on WGR last night.

     

    When you're picking 28th and lower every year, a 1st round pick is really a 2nd round pick. In most draft years, there are only about 20-25 first round graded players. 

    So if you're a team like the Bills, who is consistently picking late 20's in the first round, trading a 1st round pick and a 2nd round pick is similar to trading 2 second round picks.

    polian has said similar. he is amazing to listen to basically saying that no one knows shiz.

     

    but a good story he recently retold was drafting one year he wanted to move up with a 4th from next year to get into the 5th this year. the guy they identified was someone who has talent and was graded above the value that he was at on their draft board. he had to convince the orginzation that a 5th round pick this year is more important than a 4th round pick next year because you get that player now and don't wait a year. that when you have talent you think is worth the grade giving up potential next year is not as important to have a player on the team now.

     

    that player was robert matthis.

     

    he said it does not always work out but looking at next years draft is not the same as looking at this years draft. he doesn't like the jimmy johnson board. drafts are not equal. ever.
