Was just going over the recent draft and our trades
1. We traded up for Vonn Bell and gave the patriots a 3rd and 4th rounder.
2. With the 3rd rounder they took Joe Thuney who is their starting OG
3. With the 4th rounder they took Malcolm Mitchell who is a good rookie WR
Now i'm wondering if instead of taking Mike Thomas with our original 2nd rounder we took a defensive player would we have been better in the long run.
Jarred Reed
Deion Jones (stud)
Carl Nassib (behemoth)
I absolutely hate this trading up strategy. There are so many good players and the draft is a crapshoot so you should've minimize your chances.
Imagine this draft haul
Rankins
Deion Jones
Joe Thuney
Malcolm Mitchell
David Onymetta
Lasco
We bolster the OL, bolster the DL, Add a playmaking LB, Add a WR.
More talent, better depth, better team.
Don't understand the logic of trading up always. Rarely, ok i get it. But almost every draft we do it. Multiple times. Has got to be changed.
