Question about the AP trade

dizzle88 · 10-16-2017, 09:50 AM

If I heard correctly, the pick we received is a conditional pick? Does that mean that depending on how AP plays, we receive a higher draft pick?

Where is the ceiling on it? Can it turn into a 3rd round if goes over a 1000 yards or something like that?

Could anyone help out with this?

This is all that really needs to be said.

I thought the pick was a 7th with the condition of moving to a 6th... Meaning if he runs well the most we can get is a 6th...

As hilarious as it is I can see what Will is getting at. Put AP in at the beginning of the fourth quarter and let's see if he can still punish defenses. All questions about him would have been answered and we could have spared some wear and tear on the other two. I really hoped we would have gotten a chance to see it by now. Not saying I disagree with the trade, just sayin

I think AP might get his feeling hurt just doing clean up duty.

Ahh okay, thanks for the clarification, let's hope we get as high a pick as possible.

We can trade our newly acquired picks to move up for an injured player......

Glad he's finding success. Also glad he's gone.

AP just didn't fit our offense. Good player, but I feel like dual threat RBs are the only ones that work in our system. Take Ingram, he may not be the best receiver out of the backfield to catch passes, but that option is at least there with him(and quite frankly he's gotten a lot better at it). With AP the option isn't there.
