Ugh...

I wouldn't mind trading down, but only if Davis or Baker are gone cuz usually somebody drops that ain't supposed to fall. Don't trade down cuz you saw what the Titans and Browns did last year, their draft picks were way more attracttive.

Don't fukkin' outsmart yourself again. Lookin' at you Aguyo :beli:

Well the big day is almost finally here. Here are my thoughts on this year's EPIC draft class. For one, this is one of the best draft classes of the last 30 years. Expect many of the stars of the NFL for the next 10 years to come out of this draft class. The depth and talent at almost every position is phenomenal.

How successful teams are when trading down anyway? It seems them that "Mortgage" their future actually end up with playoff success or it comes a wash.

I'm so ready for the draft, because my team forum(SaintsReport) are a bunch of fukking morons every year. It seems to get worse. They think they got trade bait for 32nd pick because teams WOULD want that 5th year option. 5th year option is an incentive for drafting well. it has very little trade bargaining other than a particular player and needing to leapfrog another team.

And these damn morons wanting CMAC with the 11th pick!?
