Sataere posted:I don't think teams will ever believe that in football. Most draft boards are tiered anyway. It's not like there is normally that big a difference between top picks. You usually see that players have a round-based grade. I agree most draft boards are tiers rather than explicit ordinal rankings. But still, tanking increases your chances of getting higher draft capital. How the team chooses to use that is besides the point. If I was a GM I'd let the owner know it's going to be a rough start. First year on the job I'd trade everybody over 25 years old for as many picks as I could. Then I'd trade as many of the first year draft picks as I could for future picks. Grab a bunch of high-ceiling late round picks and UDFAs. Then promptly finish bottom 3 in the league. To start year 2 you'd have a bunch of draft capital, huge cap space, and hopefully a few promising young players.

Diva Cupcake posted:Like 2 months ago this same writer did a Ringer column on how there's no way to actually tank in the NFL. That's dumb, hypocritical, and obviously not true? I dislike this author. e: Unless he means like, no Owner/President of Operations would allow that to happen?

Sataere posted:The problem with that is when the new GM they bring in two years later gets to capitalize on your plan. Agreed, the bolded is exactly the problem. The first year of the Pete C and John S FO for Seattle, they had an extra first round pick because of a trade the previous GM made. That pick turned into Earl Thomas. If you gave one of the smart goons 5-years guaranteed as GM with total contract and personnel control, they would perform well above the mean GM. Simple things like "don't give old rb's huge contracts" and "trade down to diversify risk" are concepts too convoluted for existing gms.

FizFashizzle posted:Although I absolutely believe no one in Seattle wants anything resembling a starting qb behind Wilson seeing as how much the rest of the team hates him. That original article was garbage. The team likes Wilson. Sherman rebutted that article multiple times. Bennett has mentioned how much he likes Wilson, here being the most recent: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzjMj1ozSIA&t=350s e: Have another https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z45BIkxZrmk&t=255s JIZZ DENOUEMENT fucked around with this message at 21:49 on Jun 18, 2017 |
