I don’t care about the quarterbacks. It’s not about whether Murray is better than Rosen. We had an opportunity today to turn the number one pick into multiple pics today tomorrow and next year and the year after and we blew it. it does not take a rocket scientist to understand why the patriots are good year after year. They constantly stockpile picks.

Who knows if the offers were there, for #1 or Rosen. Between Murray and the field, I'm happy with Murray. He's for sure better than Rosen. Kingsbury knows his QBs.

Uhh... no one traded up into the top three. No legit offers at the top. That wasn't real surprising because teams are valuing picks this year big time. Draft is deep into 3-4 round.

I don't think anyone lower in the draft felt that there was a special player worth a big cost to trade into the #1 spot. So the Cards likely did not have trade offers that seemed good enough to them for the #1 pick.

Teams have been "open for business" with the 1st pick for the past few years. The problem is no one wants to pay the price to move up that high.

I was watching the draft with a buddy, When they showed Keim and Bidwill on the phone, He was convinced we were trading out.... I told him it was Keim's Uber driver confirming his pickup time, And Bidwill was on the line as well because he's his sponsor.

You are assuming there were trade partners willing to do so for the appropriate value. You dont know anything as to whether there actually were. So..... psssssffttt.

Keim has proven he isn't smart enough to call an Uber driver.

There were no trades until the 10th pick. It is clear nobody wanted to pay the price it took to move up into the top 5.

We need to get help for our QB...if we don't, this offseason has been a failure.
