Thats a silly statement, we wont know for a few years. we have a 1,3 and 5 from Houston this year, so until we see how those players end up performing we have no idea.
1 year in, you would take Anderson over Paris Johnson, and a 1st, 3rd and 5th rd pick.
Have to factor in what we gave up to move up to grab PJJ too. And you’re right that we won’t know the full outcome for a few years - and it’s a lot of players to track. Like have to track who Houston took with 105 also. But I think most of us understand that the gleaming jewel in this deal was this years first and it’s value plummeted.
It’s Anderson, Kellee Ringo (105th), Sam LaPort, will Levis for PJJ, Ojulari, oh good lord with the Texans, Detroit and titans trades all being interconnected it’s almost impossible for me to keep track of what the cards sent out verses received. Maybe I’ll give it a shot tomorrow with some paper and a pen.
Can’t look at it that way because we had to trade back up using additional assets to her Paris. Hence my prior post.
It's TOTALLY Cardinal-esque that this is the year a 1st year Coach and rookie QB win the Super Bowl and we end up picking 32nd.....I would not be shocked in the least if this happened to us lol
Will Anderson is OK - I will take Paris and i will also take an OL with the 1st from HOU this year
Totally agree. It isn't like we passed on Terrel Suggs for Skillet Hands and Calvin Pace. When you get a shot at an elite player, bank him. I always would have taken Anderson and nothing has happened to change my mind.
Myjai Sanders has 7 tackles all year. Not sure that type of production is worth the associated rant.
Franchise altering decisions!!!
I'd argue that if you think Murray is your most important player, then OT is more important than edge because Murray is made more effective by the OT.
DeMeco Ryans thinks he is worth having on the roster and playing him behind Anderson Jr in a playoff game. Good enough to question letting him go with no snaps, no explanation. If he was 32, I wouldn't even mention him.
Cornerstone offensive tackle is a heck of a projection for a guy who was pretty mid his rookie season. Everything else is cope.
If you can’t see how this comment (if accurate) cuts against monti, I don’t know what to tell you.
I agree with all of this. If we drafted Anderson last year we would have ended up with two blue chip players (Anderson and whomever we draft this year, assuming we don’t trade down). I think monti’s hope was that we would end up with two in this draft plus other assets, but the Texans didn’t cooperate. So instead we likely end up with one blue chip player (again if we don’t trade down) and a bunch of other assets. I think the error was in passing on blue chippers when your team has almost none of those and they are difficult to come by.
I would agree with this. But the problem is that at present I believe Anderson is viewed as a greater prize than Paris. Of course we still need to see how the other parts of the deal play out. But the likelihood of any of them being of greater value than Anderson is unlikely.
