You can't possibly surmise that without knowing what other factors were in play. You have no idea whether other teams had competing offers for some of those players, for example.
Why did this cross my mind when you said that
.... I swear my brain is wired weirdly different
You gotta separate the value of the picks from the results of players selected. Reason being, even if a GM fleeced a team, if they bomb all of the picks, it was still a fleece.
I agree it's obvious Snead does overpay the perceived value but in the end, what matters most is that the trade works out. Don't really know the true value until then. At that point, no one truly cares about the compensation. I just think Snead does what he has to do to close the deal, picks be damned hahahaha....Unfortunately we are at the beginning of this trade happening so knee jerk reactions is pretty much what you'll get.
Or we offer a little less and the Lions GM decides to call SF one last time instead of agreeing to our deal.
I’m commenting on the actual contents of people’s posts, seemingly eager to see our minority coaching staff poached by other teams just to get a comp pick at the end of round three. I would rather keep the competent coaching staff with the Rams. You have always been a condescending poster to people who don’t agree with your “ analysis” so maybe you should check yourself and not be so sensitive.
In case it wasn't clear, I was referring to the compensation he gets for trading his own players away. Like Ernest Jones, for example.You lost with the part in bold
This is complete, utter nonsense.
It's talking out of both sides of the mouth that annoys me. Sorry but you cannot say somebody is bad at their job, which when you say he always gets fleeced in trades you're doing, and appreciate the job he does.
I guess we aren't supposed to win games in that case yeah Snead is bad at his mob.
Of course, nobody knows for sure. We're all basing this on only the knowledge we have. But most neutral observers have generally agreed that the Rams tend to overpay for players in these big trades. When the Stafford trade went down, NOBODY expected it would be for two #1s AND Goff. And when you trade away your own player for peanuts and that team turns around and trades that same player for even more draft compensation, it's pretty clear you got less than market value. I love Les, but it seems pretty clear he's overly generous to other teams when it comes to player trades. Shrug.
Snead is a Robber Baron.
