Does doing this (trading players as opposed to picks) make any difference on the value chart aspect of draft day trades?

AAA DOLFAN, they moved from 12 to 4 for an additional 2nd rounder??? Who did they fleece?

We used it to draft a luxury player who didn't see the field much last year lol

We still drafted the same dude we would have at #3 and that second round pick still has plenty of potential.

I wonder if Atlanta trades up, they are in a great spot to trade up to 1 or 2 without it costing a fuckton. What would it cost to move up to 1 or 2
You guys should just trade down to 10 if Watkins falls to 6. It would be really cool of you.

It's an ultra tough decision. Might be the hardest choice for a team in the history of having a #1.

Basically Houston is set at many positions and had an incredible down year due to the play of a single position. That turn around from a playoff team to a 2-14 team doesn't happen often, especially when that 2-14 team has the potential to be a playoff contender again with the right QB. All signs point to them needing to take one, but they also happen to have a generational prospect at a position that is historically extremely tough to get stability at.

I wouldn't want to be in the Texans shoes right now.

I wouldn't exactly say Houston is set at many positions and had a down year due to the play of the QB. Everyone on defense aside from Watt forgot how to play football, the play calling was boring and predictable and yes Schaub stunk up the joint as well.

They have holes at LB, C, DE, DT and the interior o-line. Despite the emergence of Hopkins, they could use a WR. If Andre or Foster go down, they automatically turn into a no name offense.

In this particular case, I agree with John McClain. A QB would do more for the Texans franchise than Clowney and Fitz/Keenum/Yates would.

Eh if you take Clowney and still suck then you still got a generational player and a top 10 pick in 2015 with a shot at Jameis Winston, Marcus Mariota, Brett Hundley, etc. I generally don't like punting the QB decision to next year but not when it's a matter of BPA.

Not like there won't be QBs available this year to trade up from 33 either. There's gonna be a lot of trades this year, why couldn't Houston trade up from 33 into the first round to take a QB? Then you've got a generational player and a good QB prospect from a deep class.

Just in case Tom Savage goes in the first round I want to say something about him so I sound smarter if he does:

Tom Savage was pretty good in Rutgers and Schiano ran him out of town after an injury.

Ok carry on.

I expect him in the 5th but Todd McShay was raving about him for some unknown reason and it looks like it was getting picked up by some draft pundit websites. Stranger things have happened and I want to be on the ground floor of this one.

Why SMU Quarterback Garrett Gilbert's NFL Draft Stock Is Projected To Rise

Written by: Garrett Gilbert's agent

600 words of filler under a misleading title that say Garret Gilbert's pro day is today

It's because Savage has NFL measureables and a strong arm, but so did Ryan Lindley, and both prospects have poo poo accuracy

But this seems to be a year where teams are talking themselves into these QB prospects so I wouldn't be surprised by anything

also as far as QB Name Rating goes, he's got a pretty good one

Do you even know what you're talking about? Your points are "They have no pass rush and need to rebuild the interior o-line" (the second of which is untrue, but I digress), so they should pass on Clowney and invest a high pick in a QB? What the gently caress? :psyduck:

They do not have a hole at C, they need a new LG and a new RT true, but they have some potential guys already on the roster who were on IR last year in Quessenberry and The Great Black Otaku

They even already have their C of the future once Myers is done in Ben Jones

Who thinks Ryan Fitzpatrick or Case Keenum is worth starting another year? Then Houston has to take a QB. Now the fight for #2 is going to be real interesting.

If you think you're going to immediately be in the playoffs next year, they're not worth starting. If you think that rome wasn't built in a day, they can start.

Houston can pick a QB AFTER their first pick, that is allowed in the rules

They can fuckin.. jump from 33 to 15-20, one of the top 3 QBs will fall to there and if not, ride the Carr baby

What's wrong with Keenum? He looked decent enough to warrant a chance to start again. Mettenberger in the 2nd gives them more of a long term project and eventual starter, but gives your QB time to learn without throwing them in day 1 just because they're the #1 pick.

Keenum was like Rex Grossman, in that he could bomb the gently caress out of the ball deep but anything shorter than 20 yards past the LOS was a crapshoot. I loved watching him play but he has a lot of learning to do about playing QB in the NFL, and I think throwing him out there as the starter for 2014 would invite another top 5 draft pick.

Really though, outside of QB, most of Houston's problems were on defense and the lack of an entire LB corps once Cushing went down again.

If your'e taking Mettenberger you're not taking him at #33 overall

Outside of flyers, I don't like any other mid round QB. McCarron is a huge bust waiting. Mettenburger is just a big arm. Murray is hurt. Garoppolo is an unknown. I just think the top three are the only real chances. Keenum is fine but he has a long way to go before he's a true starter. It just makes too much sense.

Didn't Garoppolo break a bunch of Romo's records at Eastern Illinois? That's pretty much objective proof that he's going to own :colbert:
