BB could of got a #1 for matt if he waited a lil longer denver the bears. or some other team would have came up with a low #1 for matt and they would not have traded vrabel,
First, all indications was that Vrabel was gone whether Cassel got traded. The Pats had already discussed trading Vrabel before the Cassel trade. The Pats were due to pay Vrabel a roster bonus and they weren't going to pay it.
Second, there is no guarantees that the Pats would have gotten a first for Cassel even in hindsight. Even with what Denver got for Cutler, there is no guarantees they would have sent a first rounder to the Pats for Cassel.

No-one has any idea if that is true. We had a huge cap # on a mediocre QB, we did REALLY well to get the second pick of the second round; which is very close to a #1, btw.BB could of got a #1 for matt if he waited a lil longer denver the bears. or some other team would have came up with a low #1 for matt and they would not have traded vrabel,
As for Whitehurst, he's the hot backup QB right now for reasons I have no idea about.

The Patriots got the Kansas 2nd round pick straight up.
This deal is simply a swap of 2nd round picks.
Matt Hasselbeck was drafted in the 6th round by the Packers, and traded to the Seahawks for essentially a 3rd round pick, as a backup.
Teams scout other teams backup for just this reason. If a good player is buried on the depth chart behind other good players and doesn't get a shot to prove what he can do, it's up to other teams to do the legwork.
two words: Mike Vrabel
I don't know why you guys are knocking him...
have you seen this guy's hair? :camera:
flawless! (no homo)
Though he's gonna have a lot of competition for best hair on the team from the Seahawk's starting QB, Hasselbeck
