I hated that pick at the time… said so in the draft thread here .. I do recall Beane saying that he was “ sticking out” on their board… They got that one wrong…

They picked Basham at the end of the 2nd …I wonder if they had a first round grade on him?

Huh?

Where is it?

I’m gunna say Yes … I think 5 will get it done

Don’t you just pick them up from the Free Agency dumpster for $1.7M? Having said that … probably means they are taking 1 at 27 ..

If it’s 100 percent guaranteed he should take that … otherwise it’s a one year deal right ?

You are dreaming… just go to last year when a 4th got them from 25 to 23

what DT are you getting for $3m? This move won’t mean squat in relation to what happens to Hopkins… that ship may have already sailed…

He is saying that the significant development is unlikely

ARZ wants a 2nd and 3rd apparently

Yep…sounds pretty dead doesn’t it

Hilarious? Not really… And if they don’t trade for him? What then?

Lol.. ok… They are going to give up three picks for him to make you happy

Still over… 104 would get it done

I think you have over valued his worth regardless oh how many picks they have..

Wow… that is some haul for Ed… there I was thinking you might get a bottom third/ early fourth for a guy on his 5th year option that you gotta pay $10 m

Peak offseason is almost upon us… analysing the coaches picture

The point about other holes is true … but not relevant to this thread discussion… There has always been an expectation that they would upgrade the WRs these past few months… barely anyone suggested Hopkins was going to be part of that solution until the last two weeks… Im confident that a solution will be found still… although Beane will really need to be multi tasking over the remainder of the off season..

Two weeks ago, no one thought Hopkins was coming here ….don’t remember a lot of panic then

Stick a couple of grand on it

Should I believe this? Lots of people here only want to believe the positive Twitter posts..

He obviously wanted more than $1.7Mil

No.. not a replacement .. but might help to fill the hole with someone else like Ford
