jkam Posted April 20, 2002 Share Posted April 20, 2002 if you go to NFL.com we now have 2 3rd rounders and 3 7th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brave Posted April 20, 2002 Share Posted April 20, 2002 A 7th from NE is like a free agent signing. Everyone else will have already picked anyway. Just like our compensation. Man, are we loaded with useless picks right now or what? Oh well, at least we got into the 3rd round ... in a big way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney B Posted April 20, 2002 Share Posted April 20, 2002 Can't agree. A seventh rounder is better than a free agent signing if it costs the team less money. Free agents can offer themselves to the highest bidder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brave Posted April 20, 2002 Share Posted April 20, 2002 Splitting hairs, Chief, splitting hairs. By the time you're down to 7th rounders and undrafted FAs the money spent or saved generally doesn't amount to much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sisko Posted April 20, 2002 Share Posted April 20, 2002 Agreed. I think we did well with the first trade down, but we got ganked on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief skin Posted April 20, 2002 Share Posted April 20, 2002 7TH ROUND SUCKS!!! DO THE MATH 200 PLAYERS LATER. This must be salary cap strategy keep trading down so we can pay the players we have now, especially TROTTER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wacky Ralph Posted April 20, 2002 Share Posted April 20, 2002 Originally posted by Yusuf06 Agreed. I think we did well with the first trade down, but we got ganked on this one. We got reamed. I can't sit down right now. How come Dallas gets a high third AND a six for dropping from #6 to #8, but WE get a low third and a low seven for dropping back, like TEN spots????

The Sisko Posted April 20, 2002 Share Posted April 20, 2002 It's because the 21 pick isn't nearly as valuable as the 6 pick. As you move further along in the draft, the cost of moving up to a particular spot gets cheaper. Even so, I would have demanded their 2nd round pick since it's essentially a third round pick.

Skinhead Posted April 20, 2002 Share Posted April 20, 2002 Think of it this way we get MR. Irrelevant. Isn’t that what the last pick is called? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCS:BraveCaringSoul Posted April 20, 2002 Share Posted April 20, 2002 We don't even get the connsolation of irrelevancy. houston has the first AND last picks in the draft this year. This deal has to be salary cap related. (Which isn't neccesarily a bad thing.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinhead Posted April 20, 2002 Share Posted April 20, 2002 TCWCW, you are correct, I had forgotten about the extra picks at the end of each round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
