RTTRUTH Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Now I'm genuinely wondering if the Commanders got sniped hard in the move back from 11-16. So gained a 3 and 4. Watched Olave and Jameson Williams go before 16. Took Jahan Dotson. Was that the plan, or was that desperation after miscalculating? Another random thought about tonight's draft. I don't think many of us can claim the Texans are not in full rebuild. With that in mind I kind of like the combination of two moves here. I do a lot of mock GM stuff on this site, and this year's sweet spot for value opens and closes between probably 30-ish and somewhere in the late 4th-late 5th round, depending on how the teams before that draft. If the Texans share that view I like what they have done to accumulate picks in that range without really giving up much. It started pre-draft even. Look at the following two deals. Texans receive: Round 5, 2022: No. 170 overall (from Tampa Bay) NEW ENGLAND RECEIVES: Round 6, 2022: No. 183 overall Round 7, 2022: No. 245 (from Dallas) This deal looked weird when it happened a few days ago. But as I think on it more it makes sense. ------------------------------ HOUSTON RECEIVES: Round 1, 2022: No. 15 overall (from Miami) Round 4, 2022: No. 124 Round 5, 2022: No. 162 Round 5, 2022: No. 166 (from Arizona) PHILADELPHIA RECEIVES: Round 1, 2022: No. 13 overall (from Cleveland) And in this deal they only move back two spots. I'm guessing they wanted Green the whole time. I think he's a hell of a player. And versatile. Caserio comes from New England and they have frequently built up quality O-lines. Green is a hell of a start. They gained 3 picks in the "sweet spot" moving only two slots. I really like it. The team needs a lot of talent. There will be a value or two on the board when those picks come back around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't think it's the thing that draftniks like to think it is. I figure any qb worth picking up the fifth year is going to receive an extension before that even goes up for discussion 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(And mind you, I've fully accepted the fact that when the Rams finally get on the clock late tomorrow night, there's at minimum a 70% chance that Les Snead trade back entirely out of the round and doesn't make a pick until Saturday... and forces me to get up early on Saturday...). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thoroughly enjoyed day 1 despite not having a pick. Actually it’s less stressful not having to worry about taking a horrendous player like shea mcclellin or something. Only thing that is actually stressful is having a team take a WR super early that should’ve been there in the early 2nd 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkippyX Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 @RTTRUTH I'm in Houston and its what killed me about last year's Texans draft. They used 2 picks on a just a guy WR in Nico Collins. They needed 2 players. They are taking a much better approach now to building towards 2023 or 2024. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they swing at a QB of the future? Force a LT in there? Do they like a WR enough? Can I start praying it's Christian Watson? My guess right now is Greg Dulcich or DeMarvin Leal. But we'll see.

I'm saying this as advice to all of you Panthers fans out there. Just embrace it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not worried about your R2 oick. You guys have habitually hit that round out of the damn park under Ballard. Thereafter... you're on your own, Honey Boo Boo...

RTTRUTH Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 That said I do trust Ballard overall. And not having a 1st they've probably been able to focus in more on what they plan to do with 42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
