I really don’t think Allen is nearly as bad as some people think...

My biggest argument in this is do you really believe the Steelers are missing their first rounder this year? They got Minkah Fitzpatrick which has seemed to set their defense up for years to come. My point is if Beane identifies a guy that is falling and he thinks he’s a difference maker I couldn’t be shocked at all to see him make a move. Would it be a package of this years picks? Maybe. Next year’s? Who knows. I just don’t think he’s afraid at all believing in his board and going with his gut.

Fair enough...

Never did I say we needed to do anything to that extreme...

Good post...

This was exactly what I was trying to get at.

Not all playmakers are created equal. What if Beane targets only a couple in this draft that fits what he wants? If that’s the case you make a move to get him. No I’m not...I am just supporting my opinion. I knew it wouldn’t be popular. Besides...there are many “that guys” on this board. In the end we are all fans or are supposed to be. I gave an opinion and others disagreed. It’s fine...move on...

I created a thread and the guys that didn’t agree hanged up on me...but I’m “that guy”? Ok...

Sorry...you’re a choir boy...my bad...

Haha...you’re going there, huh? You have been posting condescending remarks since the first one that I responded to. Pot meet kettle...;)

It’s a message board. Anyone is free to comment. Sorry you can’t understand that concept...

Why are you talking so much about the Rams? Why do you care so much? I never said we should trade away years or firsts. I simply said that we might consider moving back up if a prospect we like falls. You brought another team into this and won’t let it go...

I read every word of your drivel...again, I don’t agree so you assume I did t take time to read what you wrote. “Sheesh”

I guess you didn’t read an earlier post saying it was an example. I realize it would take more. Then I asked what the Ravens gave up to go up and get Lamar but nobody answered that.

It’s the truth until proven otherwise...quit being an #%* about this. You know exactly where I’m going with this. You’re coming across as someone who is arguing just to argue at this point...

Yeah it “stinks” because recent history (facts) support my opinion. Beane trades up, not down.

You say that because I don’t share your “opinion”. How noble of you. Good grief...

Exactly. I think it’s silly that some of the posters in this thread think since it’s perceived to be deep, they will all pan out. Right now, three of the hottest names are Jefferson, Claypool, and Mims. However, they probably put themselves out of reach at 54. I highly doubt Beane stays at 54 and watches them get picked if he likes one of them better than Edwards, Shenault, etc.

Again...your scenario stinks because it’s unrealistic. He’s never traded down and most likely won’t do it again this year. Have fun being disappointed when he moves up in the early rounds...

I think Singletary can be a lead back. His vision is elite. But you are right that he always got caught from behind. In fact, he consistently looked behind himself bracing for the tackle. He’s not gonna outrun anyone...

Do you really believe everything a GM says this time of year? Haha...wow...

Thanks for your opinion...

I know what you’re saying and I don’t agree. I can almost guarantee you Beane is not gonna trade down or sit tight and watch players he loves keep getting snatched up. It’s not what he does. Have you even bothered watching the last two drafts? #dropmic

Short story: I completely disagree with yours. We aren’t in the same boat as the Pats or Seahawks. They are perennial winners...we are trying to get there. Yeah I would love some of the players you mentioned, but I think you’re setting yourself up if you think Beane is gonna sit at 54 and wait...

That’s fine...in the mid to late rounds. But Beane has shown that he’s willing to move up in the early rounds for players he is targeting.
