Id point to he Roaf or Green deals, myself. But the fruits of this deal have yet to be determined.
I don't love this trade right now. Because we didn't need a Qb.
However, it does look like we got a reasonable price on the deal.
I will miss the second round pick, unless another deal manages to replace it. And the O-line is currently in horrible shape and appears to be getting ignored again.
But that too has yet to be determined. Free agency is still fresh and the draft is still on the horizon. So there are still plenty of opportunities for us to wind-up addressing it.
Right now, the thing that bothers me is that we have lost one of our best opportunities to fill an empty starting spot, and essentially gotten a backup QB. (Thigpen will be demoted to back-up)
Basically, I am torn. I think we got a good deal. But I feel like we have sacrificed the positions of obvious need, for depth at another position.
I GOT IT!!!
Since the Bucs and Lions where trying to get a deal done for 1st rounders!!!
Lets turn around and trade Cassel to The Lions for there 1st pick overall?????
MAN how funny would that be? I would LOVE to be a Pats fan if that happened OUCH!
We didn't need LBs?! Are we going to go to a 3-1-7 for our defense next season?!
No 2nd round draft pick would play as good as Vrabel next season. He's one of the best 3-4 LBs in the league.
All of a sudden, we look like an 8-8 team. If the rest of FA and draft goes as well, a playoff berth isn't that crazy of a dream.
I doubt The Pats shot down the Lions' 1st round pick, for our second round pick.
I think Edwards, Thomas, DJ and Williams would have been fine with improved D-line play and the system change.
You somehow are seeing an 8-8 team. But I see a 2-14 team still.
We have gaping holes on both lines. And we are adding a QB and a LB? That makes us an 8-8 team?
Not yet.
