If you expected player x to be your LB 2 to be drafted 2nd for a pro job and the other guy who you did not like as much for some reason was the All-American while your dude was not then yes, you do not get it.

Did we just not see Travon Walker go #1 overall? Or am I living in a fantasy world? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But just because player A gets chosen first overall, does not make player B going over player C at a completely different position a better pick by default. Both Travon and Quay could end up being bad picks. Or just Quay while Travon succeeds. It's not apples to apples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't get the basic concept. College football and pro football are not the same thing. Ask Brady Quinn to explain it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RTTRUTH Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 (edited) Maybe I'm a bit lost. I've been drinking and chatting on two sites. Colts haven't picked yet. Rams reaction to Cole Strange is still the highlight of the night. Edited April 29, 2022 by RTTRUTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duluther Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 I love Quay's frame. Hope for GB's sake, he can become a Leonard-like player. I don't love the odds, but it's not bad odds for a late pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask Brady Quinn to explain it. No. Your logic is because he's not an All First Team Conference or whatever, he's a bad pick. You evaluate traits. Not accolades. If you can't see that, that's fine.

SkippyX Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Sometimes the pro projections are dead wrong. See Giovani Carmazzi's toolset and ability vs Tom Brady as a fantastic college QB with theoretical limited athleticism. The Packers liked the total package and future projection of Walker more than Dean or they needed his role more than Dean's. None of that can go back in time and change the way they both played in college as LBs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were some really strange trade downs tonight. I am guessing that lots of teams wanted 1 of 10 guys or 1 of 14 guys and when they were gone they jumped at the first chance despite value. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaidersAreOne Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 No Willis is surprising, no? I thought for sure a team would trade up to get a 5th year option for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought for sure a team would trade up to get a 5th year option for him. I've already had this conversation elsewhere. People keep bringing up this 5th year option. I just don't think it's the thing that draftniks like to think it is. You take the best player available. If you don't think Willis is it, don't force it. That's how you get fired the quickest. On top of that, look at the money #1 CBs or WRs are getting now. I'm saying you can make the same argument in trading up for one of those.
