I just seen Mike Mayock on NFL network say that GMs view future 1st round picks as having second round value. So while it is still win on the chart, it wasn't nearly as big of a win as we think it to be. Unless you think Derwin was a big win (I don't with Jones in house).. We lost 0 in the move from 14 to 18. Either we got our CB or we got our PR I really believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cakeshoppe Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Gute said there was interest in moving up early on in the draft but it died down as players came off the board. Your guess is as good as mine who they wanted, but I'd guess Chubb, James, Minkah were up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gopackgonerd Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Guessing it was Ward, Chubb, or Minkah we wanted to trade up for. Guess we didn't want Derwin James. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either we got our CB or we got our PR I really believe. To be fair, we lost a 3rd rounder. Look at last year's group of 3rd rounders. There is a large number of them that would have started for GB (too include 2 pro bowlers). I wasn't a huge Derwin James fan but I wouldn't have been upset if he was the pick (I'm not a Jones believer given how horrid he was in coverage last year). I also wouldn't have been upset with Davenport who went at 14. Our window is shrinking. Next year we've got 2 CBs, Wilkerson, CM3 and Cobb that are all UFA. We're likely going to have to fill at least one of those holes with a rookie instead of an experienced sophomore (hypothetically, of course).

beekay414 Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 We have more than enough ammo to get back into the 3rd. I don't know why people are freaking out over losing the 76th pick in a draft. At least we didn't trade it for Martavis Bryant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how much he helps them next year. Bingo. Someone mentioned that this showed how NO was 'all in', but drafting a project seems counter productive. All you guys who are still bichin' about the acquisition of a #1 pick next year? You should look at some of the talent in next years draft before you complain too much. We got a CB with starting ability AND picked up an extra #1 pick. An excellent first day for Gute. An initial trade down tomorrow, then utilize those later picks to own the 3rd and 4th rounds! I think that's the sweetspot of this draft anyway. Could get 3 or 4 solid contributors yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anyone is freaking out and I'd have much preferred us stay at 27, select the best available CB (which could have easily been Alexander IMO) and trade that 3rd for Martavis Bryant.

BUT you leave Jones near the LOS, King outside with House or Williams and Jaire on slot I don't see a huge hole right now. that's tough but as long as Aaron is Aaron we have a chance and adding a first into the future only increases his efficacy late into his career. I think this was a good 1st round so far from the Gute. Still work to be done but we were worse off before today IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
