If the Raiders end up with the 15th pick in the draft, will the Seymour trade have been worth it?
I still support the Seymour trade even if the Raiders win the super bowl this year. Last 2 years were a rebuilding phase for this defense, it was noted during the Falcons game that the only starter left on this defense from the 2007 team was VW, that just TWO seasons ago and one starter is left.
Would he have made this team better last year, yes without a doubt. Would he have made it better to an extent where we would have became a super bowl caliber team? Doubtful. Especially once Welker went down and Wilfork/Warren/Brady/Moss were as banged up as we found out they were, it became pretty clear that team wouldn't have had much of a shot to go through SD/Indy/and whoever else with or w/o Seymour. In the end, having Seymour may have pushed us a round further if that. Also let's not act like our pass rush was firing on all cylinders in '08 when Sey was still on the team. To get a first rounder out of it is definitely worth it.
