    My 10-year old son went through an insanely detailed 5-minute explanation of the Dolphins and all their trades and movements up and down and up in the first round and my wife & I were just flabbergasted.

    Didn't like giving Dallas a 3rd rounder but sounds like we needed to trade up to get (I can already hear Merrill saying this) De-VOHNT-AY SMITH. Picking players from Alabama - yeah that makes sense.

    Hahaha. I can't wait until my nephews are a little older to get into sports like that. 

    Yeah it was a good trade. Unfortunately I think it worked out well for both teams. Parsons might be a beast for years to come down there.

    That is awesome.  Love that he is so into it.
      I have strong memories of my dad's best friend coming over to our house on Saturdays during football season and asking me to fill out a betting card with who I liked straight up and vs. the spread.  Probably was around 10.  I could (quickly) tell you every super bowl matchup, who won, who the mvp was, etc.
    Now I could tell you probably half of the winning teams, would screw up the order, would forget who they played, and no way could tell you the MVPs. 
    Was way better at picking games way back when.  I stink now, for the most part.

    . Parsons might be a beast for years to come down there. 
    I was hoping for Parsons to slip to 15 and have the Pats grab him, then wrangle JimmyG back. Think it would have set them up better in the immediate future, we'll see on Jones.
    I think Parsons may end up the 2nd best pro out of this draft after Ronnie Sunshine Bass in Jacksonville.
    This weekend we rock Portland

    I don't mind giving Dallas the 3rd rounder because we got here ultimately by gaining a 1 for next year. Howie did good. His talent is in trades and value, not quite the talent and scouting. So thank god (maybe? hopefully?) there's no one else to blame anymore and there's an expiration date on Howie going forward.

    Seems like Surtain was really the linchpin to all of this playing out the way it did. If he doesn't go to Denver, then Dallas is taking him, Giants are then not budging and taking Smith. At that point I would figure the Eagles would trade down and get that haul of a trade from Chicago. Then again maybe Denver in this scenario is taking Fields.

    I just don't see the hype with Smith, though this is absolutely the pick to make once the corners were off the board. And please don't use Marvin Harrison as a comp. Marvin was an exception to the rule, a hall of famer that was getting the ball from a top 5 QB in the history of the sport. Marvin's also a murderer, but I digress, if anything you know he's got GRIT.

    But how many other receivers ever put up the kinds of numbers Smith did verse SEC level talent? I don't know the answer, but I'm guessing not many. So I think the Harrison comp is a good one. Obviously not saying Smith will be a hall of famer, but Harrison proved you can have a successful career at that size if you have the right skillset.

    Did your stomach turn just a little with the thought of a trade with Cowboys in the 1st round?

    When Howie and everybody was standing up but weren't on the phone, and Smith wasn't on the phone, I'd say my heart skipped a beat that they were going for King Fuck Up again.

    Wouldn’t we be better off if we let Yahoo auto draft for us?
