I'm not shocked by the Dots and trade. Um
, it just, it hadn't felt right for a
little while. Um, you know, II I
couldn't help but notice the first preseason game, Jahan
Dotson caught a pass late in the second quarter from
Jeff Driscoll and I'm like, wait a second,
Dotson is playing late in the second quarter of the
first preseason game with the third string quarterback and that
was on the heels of kind of just what we
had been seeing throughout training camp and it just very
clearly something didn't seem like the right fit. I
don't know. Yeah, you, you look at
the return and it's like a third round pick and
some pick swaps in day three. It's not a
huge price. Uh, is that just based on
kind of where his standing was with the organization?
I think a few things happened. Uh, I
, I think, I think there was some standing
within the organization, you know, you got a
new GM here and new coaching staff and I think
they didn't want to hold on to something just because
of previous draft status. I think they want to
move forward and, and and build with the group
they want here. Um, and if you look
at the, if you look at Dotson's numbers,
he had a really good rookie season and he was
AAA really significant red zone threat. I mean,
he had seven touchdowns on only like 35 catches I
think. Um, last year played more games touchdowns
dipped, had more catches. The Y PC dipped
like it just kind of didn't go great. But
the thing I noticed the most last year with Johan
was as a rookie coming out of Penn State,
he had unbelievable hands, really, really great hands
. And last year there were just some drops like
inexplicable ball in your hands drops and, you know
, I don't know that that's like a lack of
focus or what, but it, it was,
it was a noticeable thing to trade away. A
former first rounder that had seven touchdowns as a rookie
and has played well against the Eagles too. I
would add with three, possibly three years of team
control remaining and to have to give up 1/5 to
get a third back. Says plenty about what I
perceive Johan's market. Like if they did this trade
with the Chargers, I think you could be like
, all right, maybe they took a little less
because they didn't want to trade him in the division
or the conference, but they, they traded him
to the closest team up the street.
