Anyone remember last years draft rumors 4 days before the draft, I dont.

Rumors now have us interested in Pitts, Najee, William's, Waddle.
Trying to decide if this is 100% smoke or 50% smoke
 
Remember we were trading up with Detroit for Tua. Remember we were trading 3-1sts to trade to get Burrow. Remember we were drafting an OT at #5 and taking Jordan Love later. Also remember Tannenbaum had his sources in Miami that convinced him we preferred Herbert to Tua. Chris Grier is at his best this time of year.
 
That Herbert was viewed as a sure fire bust and that any team that has him ahead of Jordan Love is crazy. Herbert can't take snaps under center and his inaccuracy makes him almost undraftable. If it wasn't for his strong arm nobody would be interested in Herbert and it takes more than a cannon arm to play qb in the NFL.

Also Chase Young is highly overated and between his character issues and the fact that he was shut down in the Northwestern game shows he doesn't have the motor to excel in the NFL.

Last year... at least half the board wanted to trade up for Tua, they were just soooooo sure that we needed to.

...and it's just exactly this time of hyperactivity that we have to avoid.

And I was telling everybody there was no need to trade up. I hate trading up because most of the time you lose.

Yup... I was right there with you.

I don't save posts, but I'm willing to bet that the exact same people who were wetting their pants last year... are the ones worried that we wont get our guy @ 6 this year.

I remember one poster(won't mention his name)that wanted us to trade 5 first round picks for Tua. I like Tua but not trading 5 picks for anybody, let alone 5 first round picks

I think we were trying to tell people if Tua falls to Miami great. If Herbert is the pick it's still not a bad pick. The same was true if Chase Young was the pick and Miami had to wait until 2021 to draft their qb. People get in that mindset that if the pick isn't player x or y than the team is bound to fail.

Sometimes the best trades are the ones you don't make.
