Popular Post kdels62 Posted April 6, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 6, 2021 It took hours of negotiation and eventually I caved to exactly what @section314 wanted but I’m happy with the result. I looked up my big board and realized that I had a guy that was considered a top player for me available and the ammo to move up. I tried to squeeze a mid to late round upgrade but failing at that was not worth missing out on the guy I wanted. In my mind, I lost out on a 2nd tier Edge prospect or a cornerback by losing 34 but I think it was worth it. Slater was the last guy I felt was a true can’t miss prospect. He would help solidify the line to protect Zachapono and he could be Fant’s low cost replacement next year. In my mind, Slater is the starting RG/ emergency RT in year one. The dude is technically sound and physically impressive. Plugging him in between McGovern and Fant as he learns the pro game helps the OL raise its level and allows the veterans to protect Slater when necessary. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighPitch Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Dont like the trade one bit. Too much talent will bethere at 23 and the 34 is clutch but good luck guys 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdels62 Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Oh and I really wanted to jump the Cowboys who I thought were a good fit for Slater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerfish Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 I think Jeremiah still has this guy rated as the best olineman in the draft, ahead of sewel so if he ends up being a pro bowl guard or RT then great move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would take Kwity Paye at 23 but no sooner. But Zachapono protected by Becton and Slater is how I ensure long term success and short term cap flexibility. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonderboy Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Its an equitable trade - 23 & 34 = 1320 for Broncs # 9 = 1360. Broncs could have gotten another mid 4th to equalize the deal. Regardless, 2 for 1 for a team that is devoid of talent just doesn't seem wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably would have been a little more patient, rather than give up two premium picks, but I do understand the move for Slater. Not what I would have done, but that does not mean it was a bad move. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me it was all about the positional value and the circumstance of the team. We failed to fix the OL in FA and not for lack of effort or funds but rather because the price for high level OL is sky rocketing. Failing again wasn’t an option to me. We have a player of immense value in Wilson and have to secure the team around him. Knowing that I would not take an OL at 23 AND 34 the security of Slater was just much more valuable than say Asante Samuel Jr and Sam Cosmi or Dillon Radunz and Aaron Robinson. There are 2 guys that if they fall though, it will cause me to cry. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk. but it was ballsy I believe substantially higher floor than Cosmi and Radunz and a higher ceiling than AVT and more positional flexibility than Creed. I believe Sewell and Slater were the only 2 players that would fit in the conversation with last year’s big 4 OTs. Losing the second rounder hurts.

kdels62 Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 What’d be scary in real life is that the Dolphins could then turnaround and flip Xavier Howard for another first rounder from the Chiefs or in this case Denver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lith Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 @Beerfish why trade up for the CB. Already have Jones and Howard aand some pretty good depth behind them. I felt sure you were going for Smith or OL. Did not see Patrick Surtain in that spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenseed4 Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Really cool that Surtain Jr., go to the team that drafted Surtain Sr. And that the Giants finally get a MLB who can follow in LT’s footsteps, and by that I mean do cocaine & homicide. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lith Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Reminder -- when you agree on a trade, please remember to PM all 4 Draft mods (me, Dcat, New York Mick and NYJetsVets91) on the trade and include both parties to the trade on the PM. Want to make sure one of us sees it so we can update the Draft Sheet and keep things moving. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
