A.J. Jefferson trade compensation

[Totally_Red]

I see on the Vikings board (Purple Pride) that the A.J. Jefferson trade involved the Cardinals sending our seventh rounder to Minnesota in exchange for both of the Vikings' sixth round picks (their own pick and Tennessee's pick acquired during the 2012 draft).

I don't know if that's been officially been confirmed, but it sounds reasonable to me.

I never heard of any official confirmation on the trade details. What you state would be good.

 

[MoeIsBetter]

This would be good. Thanks AJ!

 

[Chopper0080]

I will wait for an official statement, but I would like this.

 

[TJ]

Too much ambiguity about this trade. Details were never clearly presented.

Guess we'll have to wait until draft day.

 

[JeffGollin]

If the past is any indicator, we'll probably wind up with no 6th round picks.

 

[ARZCardinals]

2 6th round picks are worth almost nothing.

 

[MadCardDisease]

2 6th round picks are worth almost nothing.

How can you say that? There is value to be had in the later rounds.

 

[Totally_Red]

2 6th round picks are worth almost nothing.

Don't tell the Patriots that. Tom Brady is a sixth round pick.

 

[Vermont Maverick]

2 6th round picks are worth almost nothing.

...Which is more than AJ is worth.

 

[BurqueCardFan]

Bingo. So was Terrel Davis, Alfred Morris, etc...
Not saying picking is easy but anyone who says 2 6th round picks are worthless is wrong

 

[CardsSunsDbacks]

Not saying Potter is a great example, but he is certainly a pretty good example of the quality that can be found late in the draft as he was a 7th rounder.

 

[TJ]

Dont just write them off that easily. Sometimes, they are the catalyst in getting top-end deals done i.e. moving up in the draft.

 

[CardsSunsDbacks]

Hell, Levi Brown was a 7th rounder. And Adrien Peterson was a 6th round pick as well..

Great. So now we get 2 chances to whiff on the next big thing!

??? Is that a joke?

Anyway picks are picks never discredit any of them, I would have given up AJ for a 8Th round pick if we could he's a bum

No, not a joke at all.

Just never said it was the Cardinals Levi Brown or the Vikings Adrien Peterson.

Lol ok that's a good one

 

[PitchShifter]

So in Round 6 the Cards have something like pick 6 (flip order with browns in alternate rounds), pick 8 (Minny from Tenn) and Minny's pick #21.
According to the sketchy Trade value chart, those three are the equivalent of a mid 4th round pick? Ammunition for some movement, if they want.

 

[Mainstreet]

Of course Pat Tillman was a 7th round draft pick.

 

[Dr. Jones]

2 6's could equal a 5th also if we traded up.

Although, I am fine with the idea of giving Keim, & Licht as many picks as possible this year.

Explain why you considered AJ a "bum." He was a UDFA (that some here liked enough to mock draft him for us in the 6th round) with tremendous raw speed, jumping ability and ball skills (& a willingness to stick his nose into the action) who needed time to develop but was pressed into action probably earlier than ideal. True, he wasn't infallible (& fell victim to a logjam of similarly styled corners) but I don't think this alone qualifies AJ to be portrayed as a "bum."

we got our starting LT in the 6th round. Plus AJ Jefferson's value wasn't even "almost". He would have been cut. We got 2 6th rounders for 1 7th. Works for me... (assuming it's true)

definitely not a bum. But the kid surely didn't sniff his potential. Considering Horton is a DB coach and got rid of him also says something. But hey, he was a UDFA we we're gonna cut and instead got a 6th and upgraded a 7th to a 6th from him. So he definitely contributed some positive to us IMO

He's not a bum. He commits a lot of P.I.'s because he's so aggressive. He played a lot with the Vikings. He helped save the Vikings win over SF by breaking up a key third down pass intended for Vernon Davis.
