The opposite extreme to Belichick trying to outsmart the league by taking a 3rd round guard in the 1st. So happy we have a GM who lives in the happy middle of "trade down where we'll be happy with any of this block of players, trade up if we'll kick ourselves if we miss out on this particular player". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. Value is, to a certain extent, subjective; a commodity is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it. It's okay to overspend a little to get what you really want, as long as you balance that by being somewhat frugal on things where, for your purposes, the more costly version isn't significantly better than the less expensive one. e.g., I'll spend extra money on quality craft beers, but I'm cool with middle-of-the-road wines and liquors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Essentially trade back as long as you can while there are multiple guys in the same tier then go get the last one. We’ve talked about it for years with the patriots (going on decades almost). The blessing of late being that they aren’t rating guys particularly well. 1 hour ago, 1ManRaid said: Weird for the writer to not give any examples of what was said, just "people were upset". “oh man - we wanted him too!” I mean, I don’t think it was anything shocking 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen2D̶i̶g̶g̶s̶TBD Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 (edited) Wide receiver drafted in the 5th round 6'0" 190 lbs "Doesn't possess the strength or long speed to make a living as an outside receiver, but he can be an extremely effective weapon from the slot as a pro, turning short third-down throws into first downs. He can make things happen when he has the ball in his hands and could become a consistent, productive weapon for the right offensive coordinator." This is Stefon Diggs' draft profile. It's eerily similar to Khalil Shakir's. Very similar size, speed, production, and character. Edited May 6, 2022 by Allen2Diggs 8 4 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Success Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Beane's whole draft was a master class. It gets better every day. Which is kind of amazing, because this is a roster that has few real needs and not many slots for new players. But I think we'll see at least 5 guys not only make the team but contribute in a big way. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machine gun kelly Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 I don’t think Beane or McD and every GM and HC in the league gets angry comments. It’s surprising Syracuse thought this was newsworthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magox Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Shakir is viewed as a slot receiver and sometimes you can find slot gems to slip in the draft. Shakir will end up being a solid quality pro in this league for years to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not that the beer isn’t tasty, on the contrary, it’s generally good, but ya know, like all beer it’s supposed to be good, its the quantity per dollars that is askew, imo it’s just a money grab, for a fancy label art considering what the ingredients of various beers actually are.
