Did the Eagles trade up for Milton Williams? I can’t recall. I do know he wasn’t good enough to demand a second contract from them.

Not untrue, but that would make me question even more the logic of trading up for a guy to max out at 30-40% of the snaps? Just seems to me 80% of snaps is inherently more valuable than 30%.

What do you mean by that?

Because that’s what I posted about and you butted into the conversation about?

Argue the pros and cons of trading extra capital for a player who the best reasonable expectation is “rotational piece” on defense. Please and thanks.

A winning argument for bad strategy isn’t “what if it works out this time.”

To me, I don’t really care about 1t vs 3t. I think that’s very much overblown, even with Daquan Jones looking washed. You can get 1t’s anywhere. What I do NOT get is the draft strategy of giving up capital for a player who the best reasonable expectation is “rotational piece” for the next 2-3 seasons. i was a big Nolen fan. I wanted Beane to take him at 30 if he was there. I would be AGHAST if he traded this years 1 and next years 1 to get him. That’s just poor strategy. It’s fine to trade up for a BTJ when you have no WR on the roster. It would be fine to trade up for Sanders if Eddy was traded. But otherwise it just seems like bad resource management especially for a player I don’t particularly like. Jmo ofc

The post I responded to that you quoted me?

OCT is the worst starter on the OL. He was crummy in the last half of 2023 and even crummier in the first half of 2024. Played well after that until he got dogwalked in the AFCCG. But sure, future Hall of Famer lol.

1 of those players is a HoFer lol. The others are the worst player on the OL, and the backup WLB.

By the same token, Shedeur and Johnson could turn out to be steals.

Lmao.

Sure thing. Just like Carter was last year when we DESPERATELY needed him in the third round, so much so we got out of the first. Is Carter now the water boy?

The reactions are similar because we have needed DL almost every draft, and we have drafted DL almost every draft and somehow still ALWAYS need DL every draft. This feels like Carter, like Boogie, like AJE etc etc etc etc because it IS.

Can we explain why we are trading up for another Ed Oliver backup? Can anyone?

They fear Ed Oliver comeback SZN

Absolutely?

I think you do.

Sigh

I think that's the only value left. It's a DB or a trade back.

Felt like he could've been a top 15 guy, good move for ATL to get back in the mix for him with his slide.
