I leave for a bit and a crazy man says the second best running back from Boise State in the NFL isn't worth a fourth round pick. - crash davis Oct 31, 15:41

      - I'm just surprised he didn't follow it up with his favorite phrase from this weekend. "SOMEBODY DO SOMETHING." -- nm - pmb Oct 31, 15:22 1
        
        That made me think the walls are closing in and he is aware of collusion. - crash davis Oct 31, 16:08
  - I guess -- nm - mud Oct 31, 15:15

    - He knows why. -- nm - David Oct 31, 15:07

NFL: Players were available. Asking prices were high. Miami wanted a 1st for Jarvis Landry -- nm - budice Oct 31, 13:50 13
- If they took a 4th for Ajayi having a weak year, and wanted a 1st for Landry, they are clearly hitting the sauce -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 31, 13:54 11
  - Players were available. Management was high. -- nm - znoooooofrii Oct 31, 13:56
  - That's the perception of the two players around the league. Ajayi is a fantasy myth. - David Oct 31, 13:55 9
    - I don't understand. Is Ajayi really good or not? Is this a bad move or not? -- nm - Diva Oct 31, 14:25 7
      - He's not worth a 4th round pick. -- nm - David Oct 31, 14:29 6

        You got weird. -- nm - David Oct 31, 15:10
    - He's also a 5th rd pick with the knees of a 35 year old. -- nm* - Strongbad Oct 31, 14:21
