Words cannot describe how much I hate that term.

 

I know you're not a hockey guy, but I've heard that more than often enough to describe two guys that are anything but.

 

 

So agree with this. 

 

I hate it almost as much as people saying, “right” at the end of every other sentence.

What do you give up there?  One of our fourths?

At this point, wait til tomorrow and try to get 2-2nds instead, unles someone you really want is there now and will either go in the last few picks or the first couple tomorrow

 

This is the point where the draft starts to get to guys being taken not where you would normally expect

Well that wasn't what I was intending to indicate. I was intending to bring some nuance to the discussion.

Another new rule....if you have back to back picks you only get one time slot?   

 

Maybe they should just make them do it on Yahoo and give them 90 seconds to pick.  :lol:

Unless they are trading out of the spot, Do you need the extra time to make your next pick? Do they have to evaluate the move that was just made before they can decide who to take next?

Move up now. 31/32 are more valuable than 33/34 because of the 5th year option.

So...is your point is that since IA is great at scouting and getting Tight Ends NFL-ready, that they should be winning more games, or are you upset with the fact that they produced two Tight Ends that went in the first round?

My point is they didn't quite have a huge impact in the win loss column. Didn't want them. Give a college team the top 2 NFL drafted edge rushers and they do better in the win loss column.

 

I didn't want a TE. Hockenson and Fant's impact on Iowa confirmed my view on TEs.

 

So yeah maybe my point is they should be winning more games. Or maybe they shouldn't and didn't cause.. idk.. they're TEs.

Man, you must have gone apoplectic back when teams got 15 minutes a pick!

I really don't get what your issue with my post is

 

If he were this huge gamebreaking threat at WR he'd be getting drafted instead of DT #7

 

He's strong and fast in a straight line so of course a team is going to take him at some point, but the context we're talking about is a dude who a bunch of people wanted the Bills to draft at 9 that is falling because, newsflash, he's not very good

They may be fielding calls, making follow up calls to trade back, etc....

Please name one player drafted in the 2nd or 3rd round of the draft that the team that drafted him thought, "He is not very good".

How did we not trade up for Sweat.

 

Why would you be confused Augie he was far more valuable than where he was drafted.  The medicals were apparently a misdiagnosis and even if they were not there are players in the NFL with the same condition.  I didnt expect him to fall out of the first even with the medical.

If they want to drag out 1 round of the draft for 4+ hours, maybe they should make every team wait their full allotment of time, I'm just saying, does the team with the 1st overall pick really need to be 'On the Clock' at the actual draft? They have been on the clock since their season ended. And if you are in Seattles sitaution where you have 2 picks in a row, do you need the extra time to make 2 picks in a row unless you are planning to trade out of the 2nd spot?

It's the notion that some team might call them last second with some insane trade..

usually teams are excited cause they are grabbing guys who they thought would be gone in the 1st before they got to pick again.....
