Front Office got worked over in draft trade!
 
Does anyone remember reading this board when the 28th draft pick came up last year & a trade was announced that we had traded our 28th pick for S.F.'s '08 #1 & their '07 4th rounder??

90% of the people posting on this board were saying we just got ripped off, horrible trade etc etc.

This may go down as one of the best trades in NFL history, we used that 4th round pick to aquire Randy Moss and the S.F.'s pick looks like it might be top 5.

So in essence we traded the 28th pick in the '07 draft for Randy Moss & the 4th pick in the '08 draft! :eek: :eek:

You need to read the game day threads here for comments by the pathetic losers who continually throw in the towell under any adversity.

My favorite was the massive whining when BB/Pioli/Kraft threw in the 7th pick for Welker. Morons.

I only remember a select few being against the SF trade but not 90%. I personally loved the deal. There were a lot of people myself included you had the attitude on the Welker deal of, that seems like a lot but in Bill we trust.

Yeah, I remeber, I was one of them. A #1 this year for a 1 next year and a 4th. I've been listening,or watching the draft since 1977, and don't remeber a team not getting at least a 3rd rd pick usually a 2nd. In other words we by most draft standards should have gotten next years 1st. and a 2nd,or 3rd, this year. I realize that we got Moss,and it all worked out,but I still beleive SF got off cheap at the time.
So obviously they must have had the Moss trade worked out and needed a mid-rd 4th.

That was truly unbelievable. There was far less commotion over the 2nd rounder being traded, but the throw in 7th rounder was too much and OMG what's the FO smoking, etc. Funny to look back on it now.

Hahah ya that 7th round pick really cost us :rolleyes:


actually I read the entire Pats/Colts game thread today ( bored at work ) & it is pretty much comedy gold! Here are a few gems..

"This is disgraceful. I mean seriously can we start a game without letting the opposing team just march down"

( posted on the very 1st drive of the game, the colts ended up missing a 50 yard FG )

"We're going to get blown out. That's the way it looks now"

( score still tied 0-0 at this point )

"Game is over"

( still 0-0 )

"I knew our D wasn't that good. I was hoping our offense would win this."

( still 0-0 )

"The whole offense is wetting the bed. Nothing is flowing. Brady is confused. Terrible play calling. Everything offensive is offensive. Bleh."

( we were winning 7-6 )

:confused:

People also *****ed about the 3rd rounder we traded to Oakland for their 2008 3rd rounder.

You know, there's always one top 20 prospect who faaaaaaaaaaaalls all the way to the beginning of the 3rd round. :D

I remember being pissed off that we traded with SF instead of Cleveland. Now, not so much.
