No matter how you slice it, the team that got hurt most by this deal was the #Cowboys, because I believe this severely lowers the chances of them getting a shot at Styles or Downs by staying put at 12

Plenty of chatter out there re: #Steelers and taking a T in Round 1 before this news was public
Omar Khan has made 21 picks as GM and he's only traded up once in that time ... for Broderick Jones. Could they move up for Proctor / Freeling? Or stay put for next wave of tackles?
First guess? OL and Caleb Downs for the #Giants
Not to say it can't or won't happen, but it would seem to be VERY much against his nature to make a move like that, especially a significant move up the board and especially with the team not having a RD2 pick
Lot of buzz about #Cowboys trading up in Round 1
BUT
Will McClay has overseen their drafts since 2014. He's made 37 selections in the first three rounds over that span.
Exactly one has been via trade up, and it was Demarcus Lawrence in his first draft

Two signs that an agent didn't get the deal they want:
1. "Up to" in the reported deal.
2. "Multiyear deal" in the report with no number attached.

I will NEVER just push a guy up or down my board without putting in my own work. So there are players where I may know I'm probably too high/low on them for now, and I promise - those are the guys I do the MOST extra film work on in the next few months
The beauty of how we've set up the Draft Guide is that you can literally go on the journey with me
It's extremely transparent. You can see, for every prospect, when I wrote them up, when I last made an update, what kind of update I made, and ALL of the analysis/intel on each guy
I've studied a lot of players in this class
Some I've studied once (2-3 games in a sitting)
Some I've studied on two occasions
Some three times
Some three times with one or two live exposures
But guess what...the job isn't done!
I'm a big believer in independent thought and standing on your evaluations in the #NFLDraft process
Group Think is EXTREMELY prevalent in this space, and it's not helpful. It's important to stay true to yourself.
But there's a difference between being firm and being stubborn
Listening to #Colts GM Chris Ballard's chat w/
@mcshay13.bsky.social
He said something so clearly that I've tried to hammer home when talking about my Draft Guide over the last couple of months (and I'll continue to reiterate)
Per @fduffy.bsky.social, the receivers not running in the second group. Looks like Lemon won’t run, but will workout
Per @fduffy.bsky.social, receivers not running in the first group:
CBs not running the 40, per @fduffy.bsky.social
