[QUOTE="OldSchool101, post: 903051, member: 10086"] Especially in that Comp selection area. Teams might have a hole to fill, but only 6-7 selections if they traded away a selection previously etc.. and that makes a late 4th or 6th rounders value really appealing. You can often get a top #140-low 200’s player selection to fill out that specialist role out of the gate. LS, P, K, KR or even a backup QB. Who would’ve ever thought Tom Brady would’ve come out of later rounds? Sometimes having another dart throw from a few steps back at least gives you that outside chance of a bullseye. Plus in a year where Cap is an issue those are great value selections. We know that all too well as both Linsley and Jones were 5th Rounders. Those 2 players alone combined to change the entire dynamics of our Offense and I bet we’ll see a nice return on investment for Linsley even after he’s gone. I’m not sure about this draft in particular yet, but in certain years the value of a draft can come more in the middle. Some drafts are strong at the top but weaker in the middle. Some drafts strong at a few player positions and weak across the board on others. Luckily we have in house experts that research those player grades as a whole and they understand a little better when it’s ok to trade a player and move into certain areas of the board. I’m not an expert (except occasional self professed) but I’ve always liked that day 2 area for WR and early day 3 for RB or ILB. As much as I tend to want a WR for Aaron snd I gripe about it, I’d rather keep him on his feet and get a OL blocking grinder early in the selections to keep an aging MVP healthy (or get someone who can be disruptive to their OL or a CB that has shutdown instincts like J’aire).
