Brannock posted:A first-round pick is not more valuable than a proven first-round-pick-worthy player. I will never understand this interpretation of value. What does a first-round pick do? Give you a shot at drafting a star player. What was Percy Harvin? A star player. You knew for absolutely sure that Percy Harvin is a young star; a first round pick is a relatively unknown quantity. When you trade Percy Harvin away for a first round pick and you use that same first round pick to attempt to draft Percy Harvin's replacement it's a wash. There are like no examples of this working out in the NFL within the last 20 years, btw. I mean I read Redskins fans saying this same thing in like 2003.

Grittybeard posted:You can make an argument for Jared Allen, I'm drawing a blank on others though. He's a good example. Even something successful like Atlanta thinking Julio Jones was worth everything they gave up has led them to ruin. And that's a team with a great QB as well, not like the usual suspects who think DickSuck McHoolihan just needs that one elite receiver to make the next step.

Ozu posted:Atlanta also traded a late 1st to the Jets for John Abraham. He was absolutely worth it. Jets got Nick Mangold out of the deal. Also worth it. That was actually questionable when it happened since at the time Abraham couldn't keep his alcoholism under control.

russell wilson wasn't a first rounder and it was a big head scratcher when matt flynn was mysteriously benched. of course now we know that wilson is good and flynn is terrible, but at the time flynn was some hot poo poo.
