GTripp's Official Mock Draft Thread

I'd also be down with that. The main thing I hope is the Skins don't screw UP this draft. No trading next year's picks. None of that crap.

I hear that. That's why we are in this predicament.

I was surprised that there wasn't more outrage when we dealt this years second to move up from 53 to 35 to get Rocky. I knew we were impatient, but wtf was that? He was probably going to fall, and there were plenty of other prospects we liked that would have been there at 53 if we werent. Sometimes we just lock into a guy who isn't even necessarily the best guy available.

It's early to say whether it was a great or foolish one, but I think a lot of us seriously questioned/attacked that move. I wondered whether we were targeting Demeco Ryans or D'Qwell Jackson and simply lost out.

It just seemed desperate to me. Any way its sliced, it was pretty foolish to trade up when we probably would have gotten Rocky at 53. If Rocky ends up being a star in this league, it certainly softens the blow a little. But in principle, it seems like we gave up our second this year out of pure desperation.

The move would have been much more palatable had we finished with a good record. I hate the idea of giving up the 53rd pick (last year) and the 38th pick (this year) for Rocky. At that price he better be as good as a guy like Marcus Washington.
