Maybe then should have taken LVE without trading up and then taken a guy like Nick Chubb. Allen makes up for all of Edmunds sins ATM so let’s ride. There's Vander Esch again. I'll need to watch Edmund's more closely this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trade up was necessary either way. Fair. But a slight move would have been feasible in comparison to a second trade “up” 1 minute ago, DisplacedBillsFan said: There's Vander Esch again.

LVE was playing rinky dink football throughout high school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The parcel is price is on the folks that get paid...it would be a hard argument to trade up for Edmunds instead of LVE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that the prevailing thought in the lead up to the draft was that LVE was a more refined pick, while Edmunds has a higher ceiling. 1 minute ago, Commonsense said: The parcel is price is on the folks that get paid...it would be a hard argument to trade up for Edmunds instead of LVE. If we’re judging based on 3 quarters of a season, then yeah. I’ll wait and see. Also, at the time, Edmunds was universally viewed as the better option.

I’d say that thought needs more of explanation. LVE is older but his trajectory was second to none late last season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmunds was seen as a physical freak who could be dominant at a whole other level. I’m not arguing that that was a correct assessment, but rather that it’s what was believed of the two. I think what we’re seeing so far this season is that Edmunds is less instinctual and is learning how to play in the middle, while LVE is more fluid and thus producing better right now.

Not true, and I’m not judging by tonight’s game. As I said earlier, has Kamara got outside of 55 all night? Catching or running? The answer is no. Kamara is the most dynamic threat in football. Sure, TG is better through the tackles etc. but AK41 is legit and he has spent four quarters under the watch of LVE. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck, it could’ve been tremaine. Hard to guess but they got their guy and I do trust mcd with linebackers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
