Also two very good picks there for Arizona and Green Bay. Ealy reminds me of Michael Johnson who just signed a big contract with Tampa Bay. Might not get you 10+ sacks a year but gives you a very good all-around DE that is good against the pass and run.
Just a quick draft order question:
I thought I heard that the Cowboys and Ravens were supposed to flip flop back and forth with their picks (due to the coin flip). Is this not the case? If it's not, I have to say that really sucks. A coin flip should not give the Cowboys an advantage in every round of the draft when it's quite easy to even things out as much as possible.
Yes they should somewhat flip flop. The way the draft works is teams with the same record go into a coin flip to figure out draft order. They then rotate every round. So for this draft as an example there are 6 teams that finished 8-8. That means they rotate where like Chicago is the first to pick in round 1 of the 8-8 teams that means they pick last in round 2 while every team below them moves up one spot. Then in round 3 where Pittsburgh was 1st in round 2 of the group they then are last with again every team moving up with then Dallas being 1st among the group. Now for Baltimore they traded away their one pick where they would have been 1st among the group to Jacksonville. Hope that makes sense.
That just seems like an odd and random way of doing it. Why don't they just reverse the damn order every round?
Well then the guys who are in the middle would just always be in the middle never quite getting the top spot in the rounds. Now yes this does in my opinion give some teams a bit of an advantage considering like Pittsburgh and Dallas are both in the top 3 picks for the 1st 2 rounds meaning they get first dibs at premium players plus have a bit more trading power but hey can't completely make it even and fair. Somebody is always going to get screwed in the deal.
They will never get the bottom spot either. I think it would be much more fair. Pittsburgh getting picks 15 and 46 while Baltimore gets 17 and 48 does not get evened out by Pittsburgh having a lower pick in round 4. Whatever...it is what it is. It's the Ravens' fault for not losing one more game last year
Looks like we might have hit a snag here. K.C is OTC until 5:00
I wish I could get across how freakin important it is to leave a list.
