WizardHawk Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 I understand the desire to hold draft picks for the value, but also think it’s a little ridiculous to want hold on to them so much you pass up on a player like Adams. Yeah, he’s going to be expensive, but he’s young and you already know you’re getting a proven All-Pro caliber player. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Jets are willing to trade him start negotiating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You complained about us not doing something, in the present tense, because we are too worried about our “oh so precious comp picks”. Well, yeah, the picks matter. We have some valuable ones in the future. And one of them in our past landed us our franchise quarterback. So the point, SweetFancyMoses, is that yes, comp picks do matter. And any move you make that impacts that formula should be made with that in mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have faith that after draft weekend we can pick up another CB/DE if we need. That will allow us to have probably 3 good comp picks and ~5ish total. Imagine what we could do next year with ~12+ draft picks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But just FYI, NFL teams max out at 4 comp picks unless this rule recently changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
