    This one player has three picks invested in him.

    We got an 8th back in return... I guess we view the value of the pics differently.

    The broncos didn't have to give up much according to the draft chart value compared to us moving up. The value for us moving up to #8 was more.

    Of course it costs more, it's a higher pick. We also gave up a higher valued third round pick.

    Look, guys, it's not hard to get. #8 is worth 1400 points. We gave up around 1600. We came out on the wrong end of it.

    It's not that big of a deal, but I guess only time will tell.

    Giving away second round picks. No big deal.

    Not sure if you're being sarcastic or what, we have three 2nd round picks today. Anything can happen with next years picks. We could easily gain next years 2nd back.

    Yes. Let's just acknowledge we used ~1600 points when 1400 or less would have got us the same. Just need Conklin to show hes worth it.

    That's true if you are looking purely at number of picks. If you want to get out the old draft chart, and that 2nd-rounder in '17 falls around #10 in the second, then you're only separated by a couple of hundred points which equates to a 7th-round pick.

    You make the call. Do you give up a 7th-round pick to guarantee you get your guy? What would we be saying today if the Titans sat tight and missed out with all those picks to work their way back up?

    If Trader Jon felt he wasn't going to get one of his guys at #15, then I'm happy he made the move.
