    RD1, Pick #4: WR Sammy Watkins - Clemson

    in The Stadium Wall Archives

    It's not difficult to understand at all - - maybe it's just semantics. I would agree that "we are out a 2015 1st and 4th" IN ADDITION TO the pick that we actually used this year to draft Watkins. That makes the total investment in Watkins = 2 firsts and a fourth.

     

    If there had been no trade, and Watkins somehow fell to us because nobody else picked him, our investment in Watkins would be one first.

     

    Do you disagree with that?

     

    I think it all has to do with the wording. You are 100% correct that they invested 2 first round picks and a forth for Watkins. It's just earlier in the thread it was stated by someone else that two first were traded, when it actually was this years firsts were swapped.

    *Twitch* I am sorry. Apparently, the language of bartering in your universe, wherein two things (plus one other) are exchanged for one singular thing, does not equal "traded away". Here, it means a description of an abstract concepts of "draft picks", where a pick from later in this year and a pick from early next year and a pick from slightly later from next year WERE MOTHERF*CKING TRADED for one pick this year.

     

    My argument is that this rate was too high. Whether or not you agree is part of friendly debate (as Dr. D mentioned). Please do not insult my intelligence. And please do not debase your own intelligence by stuffing your head so far up your ass that your interpretation of diction becomes so simplistic that it makes me want to inflict physical harm upon your person.

    They swapped 1st round picks... I've been drinking and I know the difference
