You have to take into consideration these are rookies on cheap rookies deals. This team is about building through the draft, developing, and re-signing their own guys. I would never trade two first round picks for Sauce.
They got fleeced and are left in a SB or bust situation with ⦠* checks notes * ā¦. Daniel Jones as their starting QB. Okay. I guess.
Thatās what was I thinking. Plus it signals a long rebuild needed. AG may get more time now. Gotta find the qb though
Spot on. But riffing off of that it appears the Colts are behaving like they have a true franchise QB in Daniel Jones. That seems rash.
The Rams are rare. They got rid of all those āsuperstarā big contract players who have done nothing since, kept their HC, kept their QB and rebuilt this team through the draft. Weāre talking 5th and 6th round picks.
Are you feeling okay bud? ![]()
Feeling great
You donāt. Remember all my old threads of trading for Surtain ?
Beans⦠Not a game or practice. We talking about beans man! Beans!
2 firsts and AD Mitchell is a haul for Glenn. He got his āStaffordā trade.
Totally. AG is changing the culture. Heāll want to get rid of players that donāt fit and bring in players that do. Good trade for him.
In April we toss around mid round picks for guys like Broderic Martin without batting an eye, but trade one of those picks in November and the sky is falling. Itās kinda wild.
Honestly bro Iām glad you see it too Iāve been saying this for years.
You can get 3 proven vet starters right now
Dremont Jones just went for a 4th or 5th
We pissed away 2 4s and 5 you are so right
Crazy
Why are we conflating trading mid rounders with selling the farm for a freaking CB?
Maybe this works out for the Colts but this is Seattle Jamaal Adams level bad process IMO.
Totally. AG is changing the culture.
Iām not sure AD Mitchell is good for your culture but that dude is one very talented WR. I think the Jets fleeced em in this deal. Sauce is very expensive and they cleared a lot of cap.
Because itās not selling the farm.
They just drafted Sauce with pick 29 in 2026 and used a future 1st to do it.
Teams do it all the time every year on draft day
DPOY was a CB last year
But we are discussing the presumed value of picks now ā¦and the discrepancy there is come April for the value.
They just drafted Sauce with pick 29 in 2026 and used a future 1st to do it.
But your missing the 4 cheap years on his 1st contract.
True , but your getting an All Pro
The Rams (and others) have thoroughly disproven āmortgaging the futureā.
Rams are the only team this has worked for.
- Bears traded 2 1sts for Khalil Mack.
- Browns traded 2 1sts and then some for Deshaun Watson
- Texans traded 2 1sts for Laremy Tunsil
- Bears traded 2 1sts for Jay Cutler
- Dolphins traded 2 1sts for Ricky Williams
- Cowboys traded 2 1sts for Joey Galloway
- Buccaneers traded 2 1sts for Keyshawn Johnson
- Falcons traded 2 1sts for Jeff George
- Vikings traded 2 1sts and then some for Hershel Walker
- Seahawks traded 2 1sts for Jamal Adams
- Colts traded 2 1sts for Eric Dickerson
Of those, Keyshawn technically won a Super Bowl, but they won it in spite of him thanks to elite defense. That is regularly ranked as one of the worst trades in NFL history.
That doesnāt mean it shouldnāt be done, but everyone acts like itās a fait accompli that doing so is a good move, when history says the exact opposite.
You have no clue where they are going to pick in either of these drafts nor who it will turn into. If you think this is good process thatās fine. I respect your right to have sh!tty takes. ![]()
And it was a QB. Two firsts for a star QB sure. For a generational pass rusher? Maybe. For a cornerback that has merely been fine+ since Russia invaded Ukraine?
Yeah I think itās a win win trade like Lions/Rams Goff Stafford trade
Good job by both teams Colts & Jets
