Interesting fact on draft day: "In the past three years of the draft, every quarterback selected in the first round except Baker Mayfield joined his new team as a result of a draft-day trade."
that's not quite true - the jets traded up before draft day last year so both he and baker weren't draft day trades
likewise the rams and eagles in 2016 had traded into the 1 and 2 spots in the draft well before draft day

Agreed, I would not have anticipated Savage as the first safety off the board last night. I'm intrigued, given he fell to the Jags in the early 2nd in our mock. If Kyler Murray pans out for Arizona with little to no receiving help, I feel confident he would be a major boost to Jacksonville.I hate judging players solely based on where they were drafted, and this feeling won't be going away any time soon. But if it's the only victory that we can achieve today, I can at least take solace in the fact that I recommended Darnell Savage to be taken in the 2nd, recommended Tytus Howard to be taken in the 3rd, and took L.J. Collier for Green Bay in the 4th, and all of them ended up going in the 1st round. By no means solidifies how they actually fare, but it's not a bad start.
I didn't think Daniel Jones was gonna go SO much earlier than i picked him...

As you pointed out, it always takes time to judge players, but solely from last night, I think I got some very good value picks.
He shouldn't have, but hey, good for you lol. You took him in the 3rd, right? That's the grade I gave him.
Round 3 pick 8.He shouldn't have, but hey, good for you lol. You took him in the 3rd, right? That's the grade I gave him.
I'm rocking this 2nd round so far. Bunting (3rd), Risner (2nd), and Tavai (5th) so far.
