Day 3 NFL Draft 2016 Rounds 4-7

Not questioning the strategy, but I am confused by it. We have needs now, trading for extra 5th rounders next year doesn't seem to help. I figured even if we didn't think a DT fit there, we could have gone with a good RB or a C/G.

Wow....trading completely out of the 4th round. Wtf??? C'mon Scot! We just have to remember that for SM he likes a lot of picks. He's thinking he can get quality players in the later rounds. Gotta trust him in this, even though we may not agree with it.

we have a 5th, 6th, and 2x 7ths remaining in this draft, plenty of talent still there.

To me, 6th and 7th round picks are craps shoots. And I couldn't care less about getting mid-round picks next year. We could have picked a very good player in that spot and now we just moved down practically a full round without any additional picks this year. Scot said he wanted 12 picks this year but instead he has picked up two late picks for next year. I am not at all impressed with his draft trades.

actually it is two 5ths

Which might explain the trade, Scot is drinking again.

4th for a 5th and a future 5th (current value 6th) is pretty weak unless the saints are terrible this year. maybe we wanted hassan and once he was taken we opted out? i'm interested to hear what happened with billings. there's got to be a reason he dropped so far.

Agreed.. I thought Billings would go in the first half of RD3.. Strong kid, no character issues, large body to plug the middle of the DL.. Will need to be coached up but could be a reliable starter for Cincinnati in a year or two..

I think you have to look at SM's past going back to when he was w/SF. He's grabbed numerous talented players over the years in the late rounds.

there went Evan Boehm

There goes Willie Henry.

there goes Kenneth Dixon.

This trade sucked. If we were going to trade out of the 4th at least secure an extra 4th next year. This trade benefits them, not us.
