I don't understand that trade, to move up 1 spot?
The Falcons scared the s**t out of them.

They were worried that Denver was going to move up ahead of them. So they effectively give up a day 3 pick to ensure they get the guy they wantI don't understand that trade, to move up 1 spot?
Well I'd expand on my earlier point to include free agents or trades. Rams won a SB after getting Stafford through a trade. Broader point is it just makes sense to get your QB either from free agency or trade for a proven guy instead of rolling a $50 million dice on a top 5 pick who will probably bust out.Besides Brady, who was the last team to make the Superbowl with a QB they acquired in free agency? Maybe you count Nick Foles? Although he only played in the post season.
To be clear, I'm not arguing with you that a team selecting QBs at the top of the draft every 3-4 years is a recipe for success, but the alternative doesn't have a great track record either.
Don't get the trade. Jets not going for McCarthy so he would still be there. Hope they didn't give up much.
At least they still have #23 and didn't give that up to get him at 5They were worried that Denver was going to move up ahead of them. So they effectively give up a day 3 pick to ensure they get the guy they want
Yep. That's where I'm at.At least they still have #23 and didn't give that up to get him at 5
I’d guess Dejean the Waver if he’s available.Hope the Vikes can get Arnold or Verse at #23, but they’ll both probably be gone by #17. Johnny Newton might be their pick there.

Hope not. Murphy, Newton, and Robinson should be there. Could only dream Mitchell or Arnold would fall to them.I’d guess Dejean the Waver if he’s available.
It’s not the Jets they were worried about.
Very surprised Denver didn’t trade back. Nix would have been there much later.
