Rankings for our 3 Players (1 Viewer)

[Vega$$aint]

As you can tell, we used our 5 draft picks and 1 draft pick next year to get 3 top guys. Take into account we will get a 3rd back in the form of a comp pick, what did we really lose?

Dane Brugler had the 3 guys ranked in his top 100 at:

36. Zack Baun
39. Cesar Ruiz
56. Adam Trautman

Mike Detillier had them ranked at:

27. Zack Baun
65. Cesar Ruiz
77. Adam Trautman

Wow that's a brutal rating on Ruiz by Detillier, 65??

Baun nearly a consensus late first/very early second round pick.

Nice.

Trautman late second to mid 3rd.

So you can see why we made both moves.

sometimes that happens, but look, only 1 time was a guy ranked lower than 105 and all we gave up was a 3rd next year.

Probably cause he liked the local LSU guy Cushenberry as his top center and the UL guy Hunt as his top guard. We all have some bias and he likely had a little towards them. I could be wrong since I don’t know his rankings, but I’m just guessing

Good, consolidated stats/rankings by the OP. Thx.

Looks like we'll be receiving a 3rd rd comp pick for Bridgewater next season anyway...

It looks that way but I'll believe it when I see it.

Great post. You can question how these players were acquired but they were great value where they were drafted relative to their rankings. Ruiz was universally recognized as the best interior O lineman in the draft. Baun was one of the top LBs and many people around here wanted him in the 1st. I've seen Trautman rated as the #1 TE by many experts.

It's clear that they wanted players who could contribute right away and help make one last run. They didn't have many glaring holes and they don't have many roster spots open. I can understand the logic.
