You can’t run any sort of business that way. If you do, you’ll only fail.

Agreed on him not being there. My preferences are pretty straightforward:

1) Take Chubb
2) Trade back to 4, 5, or 6 and pick either Nelson or Smith

You also can’t run any sort of business not protecting your greatest asset.

You’ll only fail. As Grigson found out.

It's not like Ballard would treat every FA this way. Norwell is a proven top player at a position where talent is incredibly scarce. Pay him $15 or$16 million per year. Whatever it takes.

Would you rather have Chubb or get one of

Edmunds, Landry, Vea, Smith or Nelson at 12 and possibly Davenport, Key, Guice, Michel, Conner or Vander Esch at 21?

Could get 2 very good edge guys for the price of one... or 2 very good Olineman for the price of Chubb.

Then an extra third and possibly a 4th or 5th added in there?


Seems like a pretty good move to me... we have lots of holes to fill
I'd take Davenport and Vander Esch in your scenario, and I'd still rather have Chubb.

Yep. Aside from Luck himself, I would not advocate this approach anywhere else.

The need is too great at that position. Throw whatever it takes at it.

You can protect Luck without paying Norwell $15MM/year.

Because you have to pay 60 players and have major holes at 10 starting positions?

Does anyone do a budget for their household? Paying $15MM/year for Norwell is like buying a Lamborghini and having to shop at Walmart.

That's too much. Maybe a 5/$65 to beat Zeitler's deal, but I'd want a good portion of that money and all of the guarantees to be in the first two years.

Sign him, Ballard!
If lands anywhere other the than with the Giants I will be shocked.
