Not at all. Value is right and we've got damn near a second and a third to move down nine slots. Fantastic trade in my book.

barr. gotta agree. the guy you want is gone. now have 2 more picks in top 100 on top of the first rounder in the 20s where you can get darrisaw or top 3 Edge guy, seems good.

Yeah and for the next four years we can pick between 14 and 25,.... fu>k  that.  Baltimore purple is getting much more aesthetic, and that is where the boy lives, damn it.

No brainer we were trading down after Slater was off the board.  Would have liked a pick in the middle or Rd. 2 for it, but I like the move based on how the draft broke down to that point.   We'll see how it goes from here.

Yeah, value's dead on. Curious who they're after. They have to be confident in the players they know will be there at 23. Do they have intelligence that says Phillips will? Darrisaw? Paye? Maybe Rousseau? 

They also now have FOUR picks in the 3rd, one at the very top. Definitely think they trade into the 2nd. But they might also trade back in to the late 1st. There's a ton of ammo.

Hope the plan is to move up to the 1st or 2nd now that Spelly has 4 thirds.  

Eff - I wanted Phillips though.

I like Rousseau at 23. His fit is perfect

If they wanted Slater they had to know the Chargers were also targeting him, it wouldnt have cost them much to move up a couple of spots to grab him instead of hoping he falls to them.  So Rick picks up a couple of 3rd round picks by moving down 9 spots.  Lets see how he uses these extra picks before we say it was a good trade.

I think Rousseau fits us better than he fits other teams.

Darrisaw would be awesome if he lasts these two...

Now that the Bears have Fields I really hope we get a DL stud, and I hope it’s Roussea,  Although I’m thinking he wasn’t the best DE on his team, he’d be a very interesting pick for Zim.

If OL now, would love to pick up Carlos Basham, but that is most likely trading back up into early Rd. 2.  If Rousseau now, then trade up into Rd. 2 and get Wyatt Davis.
