    Is Ladd a 2nd rounder or 1st? I like him as a pick if he's available.

    I think he could go in the bottom of the first. Outside of elite size, he’s a perfect prospect.

    Yep, agreed. Cross between Emmanuel Sanders and Tyler Lockett.

    Then why trade back in the first place?

    So you can trade back up later?

    Hell if I know.

    This definitely reeks of Nick trading up from one of the 4ths for a player that falls. I’d imagine something in pick 30-50, wherever he can get a deal. I can see him trying to use our next year’s 2nd to do so. Betting on the Vikings having a not so great year and us getting a 2nd in the top half rather than the bottom.

    We need a solid CB, S, DT also more OL and WR options

    Idk about trading next year's 2nd but it would make sense to make 3 selections in the 2nd/high 3rd

    No he's hurt all of the time.

    Fair point, but so was McCafferey
    Horn has great PFF scores and Panthers probably would not trade him… just a hypothetical.
    But I see where you fall

    I like the fact that the Texans moved back in the draft. I predicted and hoped that they would BUT why did Caserio have to do it this early?

    I felt if he could have waited closer to the draft or the day of, he could have gotten more in return.

    I would have preferred at least a 2nd and a 4th this yr, along with the 2nd next yr.

    You assume that trade would’ve been there on draft day. Seems like they got good value for trading back.

    He's the one I want to draft.
    He's like Zay flowers with ever so slightly less speed maybe but more ability to break tackles.

    I love that we got an additional 2nd for next year. Im not assuming that the same deal would be on the table on draft day.

    But there are posters assuming it'll be easy to just simply trade back up

    He’s had a very interesting life. Seems like a good kid.

    "Feets Don't Fail Me Now" was my favorite Astros nickname, for Chucky Carr

    This is a fake name, right?
