If this trade hadn’t happened, our plan probably would have been something like this:
Trade up from 29 to 15-20ish range. Surrender 2nd round pick (possibly this year). No 3rd round swap like they got from Seattle.
Then they’d likely have taken someone like Ferrell, Murphy, etc.... guys we like but we have zero idea if they’ll actually be any good.
So it really just comes down to how much you value having a proven commodity for a higher salary compared to a completely unproven player for a cheaper salary. Because I don’t think the draft pick compensation would have been all that different.
If they had stayed at 29, they’d be rolling the dice big time as it relates to getting a big time contribution in 2019 from a player.
