anytime b.b. hears the name ed reed, he gets turned on. i think b.b. would trade the #7 pick for reed, and i do believe i would agree with his decision.
But there's no way in hell the Ravens would, and there's been zero indication that they've been trying to trade him.
i think those of us who are picking reed in this poll are quite aware of that. cant we just dream for a minute

Ed Reed might be awesome but he was Hines Ward's bitcch on MNF this year.
None of them
That's just not right, Andy. I get your point, but if Reed could be had for anything remotely approaching value, Bill would hand deliver the picks and they wouldn't need a plane to fly them back.
Your comment conflicts with itself.
You are saying if he could be had for 'anything remotely approaching value' which means we would gladly give more than value (as long as it is remotely close)
Why would we give more than value?
Reed has a value. What it would take to trade for him, as well as pay him would be excessive.
Sure, I guess if you said we could steal him for a 3rd round pick, it would be great to get him, but the asking price will be ridiculous.
Trades in general are not a good plan in the NFL. You are dedicating cap space to a guy who will be paid his value, but also giving away picks or players to get him, thereby exceeding his value. The only time trades work are when you have a good player in a bad situation, and he is unable to demand the market value contract that you perceive he will get. In other words UNDERRATED players. Dillon and Moss are perfect examples. Reed is anything but underated. We are better using the cap money and picks than to overpay for one player who will cost a kings ransom.
