Just think if we TD was this bold to make this kind of move and offer up this much for a unproven player what else could have we gotten is the bigger question from Fitz to whoever.
This moved screamed panic move..I believe TD tried for AJ Green and failed
and that lead to this package that was probably sweetened even more when AJ off the table

TD and our front office only MEET with Jones 1 time

Im sorry you dont move up like that and you meet with player once and your sold..Your selling future draft picks for this player..SHIT we meet with Jerrigan 3 fucking times and he was rated a 2nd round player

I wouldnt say panic.... I would say it scream urgency tho.

The 1 meeting thing isnt a big deal with me because as TD said in a interview,.. They scouted the guy all year (just in case) ... So your scouts have a boatload of info... You hear what type of guy he is and when they met him i guess it confirmed it....

From my account we met with Jernagen 2 times (workout and visit) ... Julio had the foot surgery (he said he is cleared to start workout monday) So that workout visit wasnt possible for any team... So the one visit make sense

I feel like we gave up A LOT.... But if Dude is the weapon weve been missing,... Its an ok move..

He should have a great year tho... Should see alot of 1 on 1's

Quote:On the process that went into making the deal:

“We spent a lot of time on this. … This wasn’t a sort of off-the-cuff, in-the-moment, heat-of-the-battle let’s just trade up because we like this guy. We’ve contemplated this for over a month and we’ve done probably as much research on Julio as we had done narrowing down on Matt Ryan. This was a major move; we all know that. … There are a lot of owners out there who wouldn’t have granted the leeway to make such a bold move, so I appreciate that we appreciate that.”
