Get it done Veach.
Maybe not, but with the pick and all the money it would cost to land Ramsey, you could draft one player who is good and cheap and sign a second high priced player from free agency next off season.
You can always rationalize trading picks for established players that way. It’s ok to do sometimes (maybe this time), but you can’t make it a habit. [Reply]

Or Darius Leonard, Braden Smith, Chris Jones, James Daniels, Deebo Samuel, TJ Watt, Buddha Baker, Ryan Rmcyzyk, Tredavious White, Dalvin Cook, Jaylon Smith, Myles Jack, Xavien Howard, Michael Thomas.
Why do you only pick bad players to support your argument in this topic? [Reply]
I'm sure this has been mentioned but isn't this something some teams do? Go for broke for a SuperBowl run and then a few rebuilding years vs. several years of "almost"? [Reply]

With 3 late first round picks, you would likely get 1 good starter, 1 decent starter, and 1 would like underachieve.
So far they've been proven commodities, but there are many factors that can limit their potential. The percentage of players who've gone onto their second or third team after being dominant, and then being dominant for that team that invested so much money into them, doesn't happen as much as we would like to think it does. Whether it's scheme, not being able to replicate your younger performance, getting paid then giving less of a shit because you got yours, there's many reasons why Frank Clark might've been a stud with Seattle, but won't flourish here, same with Ramsey.

A bunch of those guys went in the second round.....and I'm going to be honest, I'll take Ramsey over a ton of those combos. [Reply]
