Kaepernick was balling and the defense was insane and that Oline was incredible. Hell, they starting running up the score by taking injury guys in the draft just because they had the depth to do so.

I mean it's all great pending your QB doesn't stay woke and your Oline doesn't fall apart and your LBs don't retire en masse and none of your injury picks pan out and scare off your elite HC

At best they'll get like a conditional 6th that could become a 5. He sucks.

Maybe I'm overvaluing Torrey Smith because my team is trying decide which practice squad member to promote to starting receiver this week, but I'd give up a fourth for him without thinking twice.

for a fourth rounder you gotta hope you can find a disgruntled WR and get back something like Brandon Marshall or Randy Moss. no way should you spend a 4th on a 27 year old, mediocre WR.

I would give up a first-rounder for 2007 Randy Moss. I don't think that's a realistic bar to set for fourth rounders.

I just looked at Smith's contract, though, and no, I would not want to give up a fourth for his cap hit.

Only idiots thought this. I was saying for years his ACL picks were rotting the team from the inside out and his insistence on a billion 4th round or later WRs and CBs was terrible.

Edit: and he did fight Harbaugh on Kaepernick and his good draft picks were all McCloughan cheat sheet picks (Davis, Iupati, Bowman). He inherited a helluva squad then immediately tried to zig so hard he got AJ Jenkins.


Also the entire 2012 draft. The whole thing. Top to bottom.

A first rounder for Randy Moss coming off his 2006 season in Oakland would have been bananas. He was a 30 year old speed receiver who had been dealing with nagging injuries over the last three years. The only team at that time that would have been crazy enough to trade a first rounder for Randy Moss would have been the Oakland Raiders.

Well, yes, I know. My point was that a fourth-rounder being valued at Randy Moss or Brandon Marshall is misleading because they ended up being historically great trades.

I'd like to thank NFL Research for doing my job for me: Osweiler's 3.2 yards per pass attempt vs. Denver is the third-fewest in a single game by a player with 40-plus attempts in the Super Bowl era. The only players worse than Osweiler: Jesse Palmer and Bruce Gradkowski. Other names in the bottom ten include rookie Peyton Manning and Joe Flacco and Eli Manning in the years they won Super Bowls, so let's not bench Osweiler just yet. On the other hand, it was Osweiler's third game this season with at least 40 passes and fewer than 5.0 yards per attempt. Since the birth of the AFL in 1960, only one quarterback has thrown so many passes with such little efficiency more often in a complete season: Joey Harrington, who did it four times in his second season in 2003. Osweiler is one game away from that record and it's not even Halloween.

tbh I was impressed with Wentz in that game. he had a couple rookie picks and held onto the ball too long at first, but kept his composure and never looked rattled. he even gave Kelce a talking to on the sidelines about the snaps without flipping out, and when he had the opportunity to make plays, he did. he never looked like a world-beater, but after the first quarter I think he looked about as well as you could expect a rookie to look against that defense.

Abby is probably done, I think. The IR isn't because of a serious injury but he was going to be out for a few games and they wanted to free up a roster spot without cutting him. But he's been injured so much in the past three seasons, I don't think his body is capable of withstanding the rigors of playing in the NFL.

Chiefs WR corps is turning out pretty decent this year. Maclin has seen his targets fall because guys like Conley and Tyreek Hill are turning into pretty good WRs. Brandon Marshall is better than all 3 of them but its not a huge need or anything.

Like remember when Percy Harvin was traded for a first round pick? Putting Harvin's personality and team-fit issues aside for a moment, the Vikings used that first round pick to draft Percy Harvin's replacement, who went on to bust after several years of coaching and investment.

First round picks aren't as valuable as young players who are confirmed to be actually good at football. The calculus changes if that player isn't essential to your team, or if you plan to turn that pick into a player at a different position (say, quarterback), but I'm not under the impression that the Jets defensive line is particularly deep...

Not really, but there's no place to place him. Wilkerson, Leonard Williams, and Sheldon all play the same 3-tech/5-tech position depending on base package so we've been stuck having to play Richardson at linebacker when all 3 are healthy.

It's a waste and we'd be better served turning him into a top pick that can be used on the secondary, offensive line, or packaged in a trade up for a QB.

Eh, he gets targets, but not a ton. We're a run first offense if things are firing well, and our WRs are definitely way better than they have been.

I see no point in investing in Brandon Marshall by the Chiefs, even if we did want to take the cap hit.
