Seems like EDC is getting ready to make a move and is clearing cap however he can right now - if that's not the case, then I don't really get this. Could be Jimmy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really. Doesn't do anything on the field. Adds no value as a run stuffer or pass rusher. Literally just a body you put out there to fill a roster spot.

Charles Scarff is a guy to fill a roster spot. Randin Crecilus is a guy to fill a roster spot. Chris Wormley is just a JAG starter - but better than roster fodder lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides that one started 7 games on a top 10 defense? Lol listen i know he wasn’t very good but you’re underselling him here a bit...not like he was getting blown out of his gap every play 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not convinced that we could've rolled out any DE off the street and seen a decline in play at that position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very limited is a bit of an understatement as well but i guess we’ll agree to disagree on the player lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DontTazeMeBro Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 I love it. Kinda. Not by itself but in the grand scheme, more and higher draft picks increases odds of hitting. The reason I wouldn’t like it is because we’ve had a lot of players come out of nowhere to have great seasons in their contract years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sp6488 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 1 hour ago, Danand said: When I saw it was the Steelers involved in the traded, that to me is a sign they didn't value Wormley all that much. We got a little return on a guy who wasn't bad, but we also could upgrade from. I think there will be options later this year to add a guy who could provide similar play as Wormley. Just too bad it was a 3. round pick that didn't turn out the way we wanted. I think the Steelers won this trade slightly Not a home run, but we did get three years of decent contribution from him. Return is somewhat low because draft picks are depreciating assets unless they significantly exceed expectation on draft position. It's not a perfect measure, but only 12 players (of 43, including comp picks) in the third round of the 2017 NFL Draft have posted more AV than Wormley. He was the 10th pick of the third round, so that's marginally below expectation I guess. I would have liked to see him do more in Baltimore, but as far as the original selection goes, it was fine.

Not every guy on a defense is going to be making consistent splash plays. As others have said, he's a JAG starter/rotation guy, but he's above replacement level IMO, hence why we were still able to extract future value for him. PIT being able to exchange consideration for him should be evidence enough that he provides more than an available street body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamKid Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Weird trade. Makes sense though. Excited to see if it's a precursor to anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drd23 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Odd that its to the Steelers but I'm fine with the trade, Sarah says it well in this tweet - He didn't play a heap of snaps last year because of how infrequently we played in our base D, and he would have seen even fewer snaps this year. Plus, its not like he was a playmaker - he has always been a solid guy that you could seemingly trust to do his job, but not much more 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
