No.

We will trade away both first round draft picks to buy back Tom's soul from the Devil.

Or something.

All we have is Ninkovich, who is an average pass rusher at best.

Our 2 best pass rushers from last year are not on the roster anymore. Anderson just signed with Buffalo. Carter is coming off a bad injury and is no spring chicken. Who knows if he ever comes back, and even if he does, he probably won't be as effective as last year.

Then there's Cunningham, who I have no faith in after he basically sat out all of last season.

Trevor Scott is an unknown in our system. Basically a JAG. I doubt he will perform as well as Carter and Anderson did last year. He could be another Burgess for all we know.

Wow...Douche Awry, is that you?

Who would have guessed somebody could actually make Keyser Soze look like the not dumbest guy on the thread.

Ahhhhh....like....where exactly did the "two best pass rushers" from 2011 come from?

Let me guess, in your infinate wisdom you had Carter AND Anderson dialed in as FA pickups with double digit sack seasons?

Real superstars in waiting....like not JAG's

We straight

I would not doubt this course of action.

I'll be happy with half of that, one DB and PASS RUSHER

Solder was need, we had no LT on the roster.
McCourty was need
Mayo was need
Wilfork was need
Graham was need
Mankins was need
Meriwheter was need
Maroney was need
Seymour was need

Those are just the first rounders. The only first round pick that hasn't clearly fit need is Watson, but we have also strived for 2 TE offense, so thats probably need too.

Guess what any rookie we bring will be an unknown at this level also.

The ultimate nightmare draft scenario.

Where do you get this stuff, you honestly are comedy gold.

Do you live ina bubble where you are all powerful chief scout of VrabelJr Sharks, who are an invisible 33rd team in the nfl?
