Re: We Suck - 2026 NFL Mock Draft Thread
 

[quote=AnonEmouse;1378142]Run a few mocks and I'm not convinced trading down from the 1st is necessarily a good move. More picks is one thing, but they need to be the right picks. If a top Edge, DB or WR is there when we pick, we have to seriously consider it. A difference maker may well be better than 2 or 3 guys that end up being just depth pieces.[/quote]

Yep. Fans always want trade backs, especially when they are lacking picks. But just looking at our history the trade backs only meant we passed on a better player, the extra picks resulted in special teams players.

If you have the chance to grab a potentially great player you have to grab him.

Like when we traded back for Kerrigan and could have had Watt.

In those cases you look at what value you got. Kerrigan wasn't Watt, but he was outstanding. Did the rest of the trade balance out what we gave up in not taking Watt? Hindsight would suggest no, so I would have stuck and taken Watt, but at teh time it wasn't a disastrous trade.

This time around I'd think hard before trading. We're likely top 10, if not top 5 picks, so a blue chip edge rusher could well be far more value in the long run than a trade down. If we're top 5, you have to consider trading down a little and still getting one of the top edge candidates, but I wouldn't trade out of the top 10 unless the offer was ridiculous.

Obviously the gap between Watson and Kerrigan made it a bad move. We also could have had Kyle Hamilton, who I really wanted, and they traded back for Doctson and some role players.

Kerrigan was a good player, Watt though was dominant and a first ballot HOF lock.

[quote=MTK;1378190]Kerrigan was a good player, Watt though was dominant and a first ballot HOF lock.[/quote]Totally agree. Watt was one of the most intimidating dudes I've seen off the edge. Just an incredible combination of strength, quicks, moves, and ferociousness. Absolute stud. Love Kerrigan but only 1 JJ Watt.

Yeah, but Watt could have easily been a bust. Remember how everybody thought Chase Young was the next coming of Julius Peppers?

Feeling cursed today and your post reminds me:

2012 OROY -- RGIII
2020 DROY -- Chase
2024 OROY -- JD5

We really, really need to buck this trend, and I hope JD5 doesn't become the next one. His work ethic suggests that he won't (and stands in contrast to the other guys here), but the injury situation this year has been awful.

And I hate the fact that I will need to wait until September to have optimism about a football season. I sure picked the wrong year to spring for the Sunday ticket.

The Colts are apparently going to work out 44 year old Phillip Rivers. No lie. Hasn’t played since 2020. That’s bananas.

BTW, we may suck, but tonight, the Eagles sucked pretty badly too (despite the refs gifting them a td). We thumped the team they just lost to. Man, it would be amazing to beat them, at least once, but it’s kinda hard to see that happening.
