It took me a half second to see the reasoning, but it's undeniable. The cost to move up is picks. 60 places into the 5th round is for all intents and purposes an extra pick.

She's in over head just like the people she's hiring. That's why everything is reactive. She's not able to plan ahead or predict things because she doesn't know what she's doing. So - yeah. She makes decisive moves WHEN ITS OBVIOUS. If a Twitter poll could run your team, wtf are you doing? When you got Eddie George (ring of honor/retired #) murdering any chance of him being offered a coaching job - saying you set the org back a decade - it's time to sell the fuckin team. Or turn in your keys to one of the other 4? family members.

If you think that Borgonzi made a bad deal or got fleeced, then you also have to believe either he didn't take the best deal other teams had to offer or that the Jets were the only team he contacted. The league knew what Brownlee was and that's why we only got a late round pick swap. That's what pro scouting departments do and Borgonzi isn't stupid.

No one is arguing that 6-7 round picks have a similar hit rate than 4th round picks that's insane. Its about the total crapshoot nature of the late rounds and having more swings in the hope of actually hitting on one.

its more about quality vs quantity. Don't tell @AussieTitanFan08 and @TheBukafax though. They'd rather have more bites at the apple no matter what.

I promise you DeCosta subscribes to the same philosophy Brinker and Borgonzi do. Its about top 100 picks above all else. Look around the league, the bulk of NFL starters and contributors are taken in the first 3 rounds. Good PFF article on this subject. The graph says it all. The drop off around 100 is noticeable https://www.pff.com/news/draft-what-historical-hit-rates-reveal-about-positional-success random reddit thread has old data but also supports the findings above 247sports article. Human element here but the trend lines are supported by other data sets. https://247sports.com/nfl/cleveland-browns/board/105323/contents/odds-of-becoming-a-quality-player-in-the-nfl-by-draft-round-211678773/

Are we really arguing that earlier picks are better and lead to more draft hits?

Brownlee has been targeted 15 times and given up 12 completions the past two games. This idea he's been a lock down CB since joining the jets is more Titans media nonsense.

Yes but the argument now is that late day 3 picks have an equal chance of hitting as opposed earlier day 3 picks which is not true at all. Even the rams who hit on day 3 picks don’t do that much w/6th and 7th rounders

Well you have to have talent, something Brett Hundley lacked.

This is the kind of bullshit McCarthy sells to get more opportunities. That "QB school" didn't do shit for Brett Hundley, did it. Rodgers went through what every QB does once they get to the NFL. It's almost never because of poor mechanics that QBs fail, but because of the lack of physical talent and intangibles.

Well the comp pick system covers rounds 3-7 and the bar is now pretty high to get a 3rd round pick so you are basically talking about day 3 picks.

That’s true but most of his day 3 hits have come in the late 4th-5th round range and NOT the sixth round range. He can say that and not mean every round has a likelihood of producing . It’s a vague enough statement where you have to look at what rounds the actual hits are to quantify the statement.

Which is not the same as acquiring 6th and 7th rounders like you nerds claim is the way....

The interview I was talking about is a much deeper discussion than this article it relates to the Ravens philosophical approach to working the comp pick system and favouring having as many dart throws as possible because they are fully aware of the crapshoot of the draft.

Ravens under Decosta as GM: Geno Stone (7th rounder ) , now plays for Bengals. Is James Proche considered a hit ? He was drafted in the sixth round

Jim Wyatt was on 3HL today and as politely as he could put it confirmed what most of us suspected it was the penalties and not being a culture fit that led to Brownlee being traded. Think the quote was "he (Brownlee) was a bit rough around the edges and not a fit for the culture they are trying to build here".

here you go. He's not acquiring 6th and 7th rounders. he's moving around earlier in the draft. https://ravenswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/ravens/2025/04/24/ravens-nfl-draft-trade-history-eric-decosta-marquise-brown-zay-flowers/83176620007/

You're welcome to do the research I'm just saying DeCosta has been quoted on record that he is a believer in having as many picks as possible and why he works the comp pick formula as hard as he does.

so close yet so far... Its really not hard to grasp. The Titans in trading McCreary are moving up 60+ spots which essentially means to make that move, they would need to give up a 2nd 6th.... 2 6ths = 1 5th "The Titans will receive a 2026 conditional fifth-round pick. The Rams will receive a conditional 2026 sixth-round pick along with McCreary. The Titans will likely receive the Rams' fifth-round pick closer to the beginning of the round while Los Angeles is likely to receive Tennessee's pick in the sixth-round pick closest to the end of the round, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter."

I dont get it. I like the navy look. Not sure why we have put it on the backburner.

No go through and show us how many 6 and 7 rounders contribute for the Ravens and Chargers...

He's right Fuck Vrabel and NE

Eric DeCosta one of the better GM's in the NFL subscribes to the theory of as many dart throws the better.
