First draft of the McBeane era where they didn’t trade up or down. They (obviously) traded their 1st, but no trades during the draft to move up/down. That’s a first, not that it matters.

 

Very happy with this draft class. I have a lot of trust in Beane and the staff he’s put together. 

I don’t know what their ability is to evaluate WR draft talent, but if they get 1 of their two WR picks to end up in their top 5 and get the other to stick to the practice squad then it’s been a solid draft. I thought they needed an OLB badly.

There had to be a DB somewhere. 

 

It’s a law. 

 

If this doesn’t convince you we are heading into a magical season, I don’t know what to tell you.

No trade ups this year...
 

Hope people remember that next year when immediately predicting a “trade back into the round” every time Beane makes a pick ..

When everybody was saying Beane will trade up, or trade back into the first, because this is what he does, I was thinking, the sample size is too small to say he's going to do the same thing every year.

What's an NB?

 

I'm fine with this. Anyone complaining about a 7th rounder needs to get a life, IMO.

That's the Canadian term for DB...

Beane is on record as saying he asked his team to stop him if he tried to trade back into the first. And he is also on record as saying he tried to make a few trades, but stopped when he realized the board was falling their way. I think it's pretty safe to say Beane WANTS to wheel and deal. But he also will allow the board to come to him.

Ah gotcha. I'm old school. That's just a depth CB/DB to me.

Guess they felt there wasn't anyone worth trading up for other than Moss who they ended up looking into moving up to 7 spots higher but ultimately stayed put and still got him.

 

But I don't see how all of these guys will make the team so I guess maybe a few PS players potentially...

I would suggest that like Moss, they ultimately stayed put and the guy they were going to pick was there when they picked...Maybe a lesson of patience was learned..

 

I would still rather that generally they let the draft come to them and use those fourth and fifth round picks to throw a few darts..

 

They seem to be drafting pretty well these past few years so the more guys they can look at in a Training camp the better..

Was thinking the same, all those who knew Beane's tendencies, kind of went out the window.  Other years were different and had more picks to play with.

If you draft a punter you can move on from 1 or both of the guys we have now. We certainly didn’t need a CB if that’s your argument. This guy won’t make the team unless he turns out to be a big time ST player

Funny how you know this already.  How many times did you watch him play?
