Weren't people upset Rick was trading up yesterday? Now people are mad he's trading down
Rick had done alright in the 4th/5th. Everson, Robison, Diggs, Sullivan...
It becomes a crap shoot after a while. There's not a lot that separates many of these guys. You can also find some contributors in the 7th, like Shamar Stephen.

yep
Rick wants to end up with 10 7th rounders.
Has he never heard the old saying "9 women can't make a baby in a month" ??

two 5th rounders is a pretty good haul for the 4th. I could see them trading a lot of these picks they have collected for more picks in next years draft.

I think it speaks to Rick's lack of confidence in his ability to find solid prospects in the middle rounds. He just opts for throwing excrement against the wall mode. The more throws, the better his chances of something sticking.

Roderick Johnson, Jake Butt, and Desmond King are just sitting there! But nah, let's just trade back for some more.
WTF are we doing.
Also, we wasted that fourth rounder on Gedeon. What a joke.

I mean at some point you have to look at quality over quantity.

Loving this draft Johnson is a beast.

John Ramdle liked the tweet I wrote

Desmond King. That is all I have to say. There is a reason this team always seems to falter down the stretch. They leave quality players on the board consistently every year.

Could be. He shouldn't be a GM if he can't even trust himself.

Doesn't mean anything if you cannot draft anyone worth a damn.
