@jclavel@Quarthon2000@BulwarkOnline Have failed to destroy their nuclear program, cause regime change, seize the enriched uranium, and destroy the enrichment facilities. Aside from that, they have won.
@DD31787@imnotasafety@Chase_Senior I’m not saying they should have moved him back then, just making a general point that they sacrificed some trade leverage for cap relief
@imnotasafety@Chase_Senior I believe there would have been a market if Howie had shopped him more aggressively pre-draft. It was a tough situation for AJ to request a trade mid contract
@jimmacjr1980@LesBowen Thinking Hurts can (or even will be asked to) support three WRs considering what they are paying saquon and their historic run first DNA I think is pretty wild
@Patsburner38322 Show me one quote from an active front office personnel stating that 2027 picks are significantly higher value than other drafts. Or is this all guesswork on your part?
@Patsburner38322 2/2 your assertion that front offices think ‘27 is a stacked class. Show me one active front office member who has publicly commented on the strength of next years’ class and the relative value of those picks. You’re actually just making shit up
@Patsburner38322 Haha trying to roll back what you said is hilarious. Draft nerds and media members think ‘27 is stacked, therefore Howie definitely values it way above ‘28? You don’t even know for sure who will declare for ‘27 so your entire premise is obviously retarded. So is 1/2
@Patsburner38322 Bro, it’s honestly embarrassing to watch you try and analyze a franchise you clearly have zero knowledge about. They didn’t trade him earlier because it would have meant a big cap hit this year, so they took the L of waiting until after the draft in order to maintain cap flex
@Patsburner38322 I’m responding to your obviously idiotic point about “draft nerds think 2027 is loaded therefore GMs value those picks more highly”. I guarantee you that Howie believes he can get an impact starter at #22 in 2027 or at #22 in 2028. 2027 would be better but not to eat the dead cap
@Patsburner38322 Do you think draft nerds and media drive nfl teams’ decision making? Do you remember that the 2021 qb class of Tlaw, lance, Zach Wilson, Juston fields, and Mac jones was one of the most hyped in history?
@Patsburner38322 2/2 only one team is involved because Howie decided to wait until June to save money, that was my whole point. To him. 2028 1st is worth the cap savings
@Patsburner38322 I think you really overrate this “good draft”, “bad draft” narrative. Draft class quality can’t seriously be determined for like 3-5 years after the fact, and there are good prospects in every draft if you evaluate and develop talent correctly 1/2
@Patsburner38322 If that were true, he would have eaten the dead cap and traded him for a 2027 1st months ago. Unless you believe that that trade market never existed which I think is foolish, as you’ve correctly noted the Waddle return
