Here's my conundrum. If we take Murray at #1, we're essentially saying that drafting Rosen last season was a mistake even though we traded up for him. Do we trust the man who made such a mistake with this year's draft?

Thx for asking. Just my opinion of course, but:

As we all know Raiders are tough guys. Gruden wouldn't tolerate any player who doesn't like to tackle and prefers to shy away from skirmishes and dog piles. This is evident in tape on Greedy. He might fit better in KC.

As far as Jones goes, I just see everything about that pick as very weak. I know teams tend toward reaching for QBs, but for the Giants this seems way too much of one. Personally, I don't even see Jones as a 1st round pick, or a starting franchise Qb, but that's just totally me. Giants drafted great RB last year and I just don't see them wasting this high of pick on a player who will not add or do anything for Manning/Barkley for a whole year or more. They have too great of an opportunity to help their team this year. It may however come down to how high they have Jones, Haskins, and Rosen on their board. I think they may prefer trying to trade, at last minute, their R2.5 pick for Rosen.
Greedy is said to have all the necessary cover-skills but isn't very physical. Logically this would mean he's not a good fit for every team (including the Cards - I'd think we'd want a lights-out tackler opposite P Peterson).

Greedy seems like a DRC clone...I would take that based on what we have had since he left.

Maybe Rosen will say there were 10 mistakes if the Cards trade him. :lol:

Imagine if they are draft Erik McCoy at 33...invalidates two draft picks made by Keim the previous year.
