Maxie, you're on it right here.
Funny to me how people panic and become so dismissive so quickly. The buzz on this draft was that it was deep, deep, deep, in corners and RB's, right up through the third or even fourth round. So it makes sense to move back and get another pick - and maybe move back again a few spots if you've still got four or five guys on the board you've got equally rated. But now everybody's puking that Ted didn't take Watt...or Foster. OR somebody, anybody!

I don't mind the trade back... it was only 4 spots, and the only guy to come off the board that I liked was Foster; and Foster of course cold be a knucklehead.
Plus picking up the 1st pick of day 3 could prove valuable... teams will have the night to salivate over who dropped and Ted could get some pretty enticing offers for that pick.

I don't mind the move back either. Most of the time there isn't a big difference in talent between guys taken late in the 1st and early in the second. The only thing I didn't care for was waiting all night without us taking anybody.
Seriously, it's not like the Kevin Williams Viking situation where they purposefully didn't turn in their card. Some people will never be happy because they are smarter than everyone else.

In addition to Fournette and McCaffrey skipping bowl games, there was this:

Also, McCaffrey said "no thanks" to private workouts requests.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
the guys with the big question marks will be the first guys to go tonight (syndey jones, mixon, cook, etc)
so if tt doesn't want one of those guys, hell be trading back again

Get out of here with your facts.
RT @PTTF_Brian: .@TheSweep_PTTF went back to 2005. They found 2 impact players taken at 29 in 11 drafts.

I probably shouldn't have mentioned Tim Williams. The chances TT drafts him are slim to none.
He's probably the best pass rusher/disruptive force in the draft according to a consensus of scouts. However, he's had a few failed drug tests in his past. Plus, "scouts say he has a difficult time adjusting to complicated defensive schemes." Definitely not a fit for Capers' defense IMO.
One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

smh at the most popular picture from the first round of the draft...google shows 3 photos of Trubisky when you search for "2017 nfl draft"! I wonder how the guy that was actually drafted first feels about that.

Meh - Florio made some good points about this - there is plenty of film, pro day, combine. The private workouts have very little potential benefit to a player who's a lock to be first rounder.

The fear of course is that he's skipping a lot of stuff, how much does he actually want to play?

Wow. Per @mortreport, even @ChicagoBears coach John Fox didn’t know about plan to draft QB Mitchell Trubisky until a couple hours before.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
So TT turned the 29th pick into Kevin King and Vince Biegel. Just wondering if people would rather have T.J. Watt or King and Biegel. I don't see Badgers play that much, so I'm not familiar with Biegel.
