What Poles has done to get credit? Did he trade with Carolina on the assumption anything Tepper touches turns to fecal matter? Maybe, but it sure looked like he took that deal to get a WR1 for Fields and stay in the top ten. Was that the right decision?

If Chicago called Houston and offered the no.1 for Stroud, Houston laughs, hangs up, calls back and laughs a bit more. Caleb may be good or not, but we know that Stroud can play really well on Sundays.

In Indy, Manning got hurt, they went 1-15, then everyone got fired and Luck carried Grigson, a terrible GM, for 5 years. Good fortune ain’t the same thing as good planning.

JJ McCarthy might be a total bust and no where near as good as Ridder.. but Ridder does have physical limitations in arm talent that McCarthy doesn't.

Give away three firsts to move up??? I dunno… I lived through Mike Lynn’s Hershel Walker debacle. We sucked draft wind for a while and the only team that went to the Super Bowl was Dallas!!!

What is the deal with people's appreciation on paying JJ? If he hasn't made a case to be paid to dollar who has?

People seem to forget that there is also a salary floor, some players have to be paid.

Also, anyone who is the best at what they do deserves to be paid top dollar in relation to how much money their industry generates.

If you were the best sandwich artist at a shop that made 10 billion a year, you would right to ask for your fair share. That wouldn't make you greedy. If would make you smart.

It's way too early to speculate. We need to wait until after free agency.
