Ok, thread keeps humming along, for better or for worse.
Training Camp in the bag. The BELCo website always has
a list of "dandies" and "duds" at this point - DE Alec Humphrey is near the top of the dandies list, that's really good news, I was getting fearful we blew that pick... so maybe not. And THREE of our undrafted rookies made the list, also. How bout that.
So, we might end up with a top-half rookie class despite trading down to only three early picks. Seriously, this has to be something I consider doing all the damned time. My strike rate with later picks is just not good enough to merit staying there regularly. Maybe I try again in a season or two to deal away my 2-3-5-6-7 for three seasons... keeping the 4th rounder for specialists and intriguing reaches, that sort of thing. Will definitely consider.
