That said I think he’s trash. Meh, don’t think he’s the answer. I will be delighted if he proves me wrong, but pretty damn sure he won’t.

I’m pretty glad as it means we ain’t going to trade the future away for Watson and Marriota will probably have a little bit if trade value and be moved on. We would all be happy picking up Watson, but agree that it would be way too much to get him. I suppose it could have been worse, we could have picked up Marriota instead of Wentz.

Captain Slog Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Does anyone know of a reasonable guide to explain how trades and swaps work, and maybe a guide as to what new players are available to. I've never really made the next step from just following what goes on on the field before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams can trade players, and player have no say - unless they have a “no trade” contract clause which allows them to refuse a particular trade (which is unusual). Main driver behind mant trades is a player’s current team wanting rid of them, rather than acquiring team making an offer that can’t be refused. New players? Players who become available through the college system, or players who are not currently contracted to another team - free agents.

Hopkins trade was a disaster (I’m a Texans fan - still have season tickets in my name!), but the Texans wanted rid of him. Tunsil trade was probably one of few decisions he made that was actually decent for the Texans. And one of minority instigated by a team looking to acquire, rather than looking to get rid. Probably good for the Dolphins too, I’m sure, but an example of what I’m talking about, perhaps - but certainly not the only one. Not too many trade like that, which is my point.

It appears a lot of teams want to move back, but the issue is, who will want to make the move up? QB's will go top 4 I reckon. 3 are already pretty much set, Atalanta hold the aces for the 4th.

PortyJambo Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 (edited) With all the players that opted out due to Covid last season, together with no Combine and no player visits, I reckon there'll be plenty of surprises this draft. Some fairly unknown players going higher than expected, and others dropping a lot lower than expected. That will probably continue into the season too, with plenty of busts and quite a few low picks being a lot better than expected. A lot of teams are probably looking to trade down and add picks in future years rather than take a chance on some players that they won't have been able to see playing so much as usual.

hmfc_liam06 Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Lions are going to be in an interesting position. We're pretty much guaranteed one of Pitts, Sewell, Parsons or Chase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PortyJambo Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 "It's the most wonderful time of the year" What player presents are you hoping your team unwrap for you early tomorrow morning? I'm hoping the Phins take DeVonta Smith at #6. Would be happy with Pitts too. Sewell I could live with, but really want a top receiver (have Chase 3rd on my list behind Smith/Waddle though). We should be guaranteed a good player one way or another though. At #18, I'm not too fussed, would most prefer them to trade back a few spots and then pick Najee Harris before Steelers/Bills/Jets (who all might be looking at a RB). But would be happy with Collins, Paye or Parsons (if he falls that low) there. Or just taking Harris at #18 and be done with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t even trade back for a player who wasn’t going to anyone else in Rd1. The whole strategy of creating needs on the offensive side of the ball whilst having, arguably, the worst defense in league. Gruden should be emptied for putting that defensive unit together, I really don’t know who I feel is more incompetent head coach Gruden or Neilson. Maybe switch them over.

PortyJambo Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Happy with Waddle and Phillips for Miami. Not the players I wanted, but position-wise they are, so hopeful with them. Waddle adds a lot of speed at WR along with Fuller, and Phillips is probably the best pass rusher in this draft...if he can stay injury free. Wish we could have found a way to trade back into the 1st round for Harris or Etienne, but hopefully we can get a RB in rounds 2 or 3.

Ribble Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Hoping the Steelers have gambled on a OL target dropping to the third after taking a TE Pat Freiermuth in the 2nd, certainly addressing ‘physicality’ on the offence with Harris and a 6’4, 250lb blocking TE, just really need to go with a centre and a corner with the next couple of picks (ideally creed or Quinn at centre) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
